Poem Title:
Poem
Used to be a team player Took a protective stance Learned they were advantage takers as only I advanced There I was lending my ear left talking to myself yet again I’m seeing clear I have nobody else All the things I’d do for others are never done for me yet still they would mutter we all act mutually Telling me we were brothers and valued equally Oh I’m touched (sarcastic) flutters knowing I’ve only me what’s a friend who doesn’t give and then deserves a favour talks of a life they do not live and paints their friends a failure To self centred for a chat they simply say don’t worry make out you overreact silenced in a hurry Or they’ll label you a liar talking for attention laugh and say you’re desperate dire mocking your fabrication Expecting others show interest when they’ve something to say simple things that cause them stress they speak of everyday They’ll tell the world that they are selfless always giving their time and wisdom how every friend they have is hopeless needing help with each decision and how they cannot give away as much as they have given when they are suffering today wore out by all their giving The hero seeking sympathy who gives so much to others even when they make believe these stories of what suffers as they have a desperate need the validation heroes offer but now for once selfishly the hero runs for cover Aren’t they just a worn out angel with friends that don’t deserve them sad pathetic lying scoundrels tolerated though a burden without ever appearing thankful taking all they’re given for you must be so truly mental if you believe this angels vision Never trust the person who complains they give too much be aware you’ve heard them sound completely out of touch
