I wrote this a couple years ago towards what i could feel at the time was the end of a friendship. looking back at it i can see where my faults were but I found this poem and the teenage angst just made me laugh.

I'm not blind

I can see

The haze over your eyes

I'm not deaf

I can hear

The exasperated sigh

I'm sorry that you're tired of hearing my problems

I thought that was what best friends were for

Guess I was wrong

I wish I knew why

But I don't

I wish I had all the answers

But I don't

You think I want this!?

You think I like being confused, in pain?

I wish I could brush things off.

I wish I could forget

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish!

I'm falling apart

Tearing things out

Trying to control

Anything, anything at all.

Powerless

Is how I feel

I desperately need a hug

But I refuse to ask for one

I need someone to be there

But apparently it can't be you

Because you're tired of hearing my shit.

I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do.
