Juggling

I never thought things would pan out this way
       I figured i'd be alone for ever 
           No friends needed or required 
              They were simply not necessary
                 But here I am now
                  3 years into the future
                I have so many friends   
               that to please them all 
                  Is a huge feat in itself
                  So to juggle these friends
                     Like circus clowns juggle pins
                      It's really a difficult thing 
                       Cause where does my happiness
                         fall into this process that's starting 
                          to feel like manal labor 
                           Sometimes I feel like i'm filling to capacity
                              Trying to please one and than the other 
                                     gets mad at me
                                  Why do I always have to be a good friend? 
                                      I mean it's easier said than done 
                                            Especially when your juggling more than one
                                             Where did all the fun go? 
                                             It went right out the window 
                                                I need a vacation 
                                                 A lacky to take my place for a minute
                                                    So I can go back to the days of being alone
                                                        I'm not saying it was better 
                                                  I'm just saying back than I only had one to worry about 
                                                               and that was myself
                                                                    I'm tired of juggling
