MalissaWhy are friendships so hard?
Do I even deserve them?
One moment it’s too much
Then its not enough
Where’s the middle ground?
You either feel you’re in
Or you’re just left outNo one stays forever
All I think about is being left
You’re being too complicated
What do you want?
Enough space for me to be me
But also a friend that understands me
The scale is so easily tipped
Am I not good enoughReshape me into what you want
Add the ingredients
I’m not perfect as I am
So make me
Reform me
Destroy me
And maybe you’ll get what you want
A friend you’ve always wanted
A perfect concoction
A product of your manifestationThen will I not feel alone?
Sacrificing who I am
To keep the people I want most
They’ll just see who they want to see
While I am breaking down internally
