Half - Vent
Do I have to change to be liked?
Do I have to be who you want me to be to be friends?
Do I have to do what you tell me to do- just to get your approval?
Do I have to do some crazy stunt just to get your attention?
Maybe I can work with that.
But when you make me dress the way you want. Am I who I really am? Or am I just some slave or clone?
And when you want to vent and cry- I lend a shoulder. Willingly, too.
And then- when I cry- or when I need a friend to stick a hand out my way.. you tell me that you don't want to deal with that stuff? That.. It's not your issue?
I see.
Maybe I'm not who you want me to be.
And because of that I lost friends.
Yet- I still smile.
I'm still there for you.
But when were you ever there for me?
---
You told me to close my eyes.
And so I did.
You told me to hold out my hand.
And so I did.
You told me to fall back- and that you'd catch me.
And so I did.
But you didn't.
