Friends Are Making You a Bad Person

I am used to people being
Mean and rude to hurt my feelings
But I never thought I'd see
The day YOU would turn on me
I am in dismay and shocked
Its like you turned around and knocked
Me right in the heart and chest
After I gave you the best
Years you will know and ever find
You were treated oh so kind
Until a bad crowd friended you
I did my hardest to get through
To your inner soul but there
Was no way I could compare
To the mind games they were playing
No matter what I was saying
You ignored my good advice
Carefully think hard and twice
About if they are true friends
Or using you in the end
Every day your turning more
Into someone so hard core
Making me feel like trash
Harsh words you would use to bash
Me into a hurting wreck
Is there even just one speck
Of my friend buried somewhere
Who used to love, respect, and care
About others all the time
Emotions stopped on a dime
Fastly they're starting to fade
Because of the "bad" upgrade
Your new friends have given you
Crying I am left so blue

You have described such a bad circumstance reasonably well in this entry.
