i am a safety net. 

when my friends are falling to pieces, 

shattering and breaking around me, 

i am there to catch them. 

to set them on their feet again. 

significant other breaks up?

they never deserved you anyways. 

failing a class? 

there's plenty of time left in the semester. 

struggling with stress or parents or emotions or anything?

i'm there. 

no matter how i am doing, 

or if i've had a bad day. 

my feelings don't matter, 

and they won't be mentioned until you are feeling better. 

that is, 

if i mention them at all. 

i'm irrelevant. 

it's you who has a problem. 

let me help you with your problems. 

me?

i will deal with mine

alone.
