Best Friendshipfeelings Poems


Premium Member How Many Times?

How many times can you express friendship and support
Only to realize these feelings will never be returned

How many times can you fool yourself
Saying, "This is okay; nothing was promised"

How many times can you pick yourself up
Pretend it doesn't hurt; act like all is fine

How many times do you have to swallow your pride
After giving all you had to offer

How many times will you go through charades
When there is no hope to build upon

How many times can you knock yourself out
Hoping your futile efforts will be appreciated

How many times will you have to learn lessons the hard way
Without losing the happy spirit that has carried you through trying times

How many times can you feel like you still have self worth
When these false feelings are always proven wrong

Is this all there is to life
Then send in the clowns; I should be part of their act
