In shadows of uncertainty, I stand,
Lost in the labyrinth of life's shifting sand.
Severe stress, a fevered brow, health's steep decline,
In my hour of need, their absence, a painful sign.
Friends who promised always to be near,
Now distant, their voices I strain to hear.
Did I say or do something to push them away?
These questions haunt me with each passing day.
One, a secret love, my heart's silent plea,
The other, like family to me.
A sister in my heart, another dear friend,
Yet in this darkness, their support seems to end.
I've given my all, been there through thick and thin,
Now, their silence cuts deep, beneath my skin.
To help myself, I must choose a path,
To endure this pain or face it head-on, do the math.
Reach out once more, with patience in my hand,
Express my feelings, let them understand.
If they still remain distant, unresponsive, cold,
Perhaps it's time to let go, let my heart unfold.
Value those who stand by you, true and kind,
For in life's complex tapestry, they're rare to find.
Take a stand for your well-being, don't wait in vain,
Your happiness matters; let go of the pain.
