i can’t do this anymore,

i can’t continue to be here

for people who don’t try to understand,

i can’t keep telling them it’s ok

when i’m crying in the dark,

i can’t keep being someone

they only talk to for their own needs,

i can’t keep being second,

i can’t keep being their toy,

i can’t keep listening as you

need me to survive only because

you want me to, i can’t

do this

anymore,

i want to scream and yell

and tell them how freaking

messed up it is, to use

me and step on me and

not make an effort

to understand my problems

and then still call me

your friend
