Life Missed
Don’t come to me to end your strife
It’s not my job to fix your life
You’re strong enough, stand on your own
Responsibility lies in you alone
Don’t think I don’t care because I do
That’s why I’m saying it’s up to you
If you wish to vent or talk it out
I always be there, without a doubt
It’s your burdens that I’m not willing to take
Because then our friendship would be at stake
And, I’d have to claim your victories if
Your problems, each, I fixed
Then, how could you be happy
If so much of life, you missed?
