My Sometimes Best Friend Poem by jade Slatyer

How can you know me?
When I barely know myself.
How can you laugh with me?
When inside I am crying.

I told you once, how I felt.
Your ice cold heart didn't even melt.
You didn't believe any word I said.
You'd be surprised when I end up dead.

How can you talk about me?
When you don't know the real me.
How can you see me?
When this image is a fake, a lie.

You never like anything I do.
Even though most of it is for you.
My 'sometimes' best friend
Who is supposed to be with me until the end.
But you leave me all the time.
And never seem to see me behind.
Struggling to stop you,
Hurrying to please you.

You never see my feelings.
Only your own.
This makes me feel unhappy.
But this, you've already known.
