I tell myself this all the time

But I fear that

I will fall

That I will fail

All my friends have

Or

Sooner or later

When is unknown

It is my time

Now

And I don’t want

To do it

I don’t like

The feel of rejection

Many of my friends

Have felt this feeling

It hurts and it stings

Not my real family

They didn’t raise me

They didn’t send me

Birthday cards year after year

There is a difference

The blood is thicker than

Water one says, but it doesn’t

Bend like water

Water bends

Water is like the friends

Who are just like you

They will bend and always come

Compared to blood that won’t
