GETTING HURT
SOMETIMES,
I LIKE TO JUST BE LEFT ALONE,
I'M
WEARY AND TIRED TO THE BONE.
TOO
MANY PEOPLE EXPECT TOO MUCH OF ME.
SOMETIMES,
I GET SO TIRED JUST TRYING TO PLEASE.
FOR,
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO,
SOMEONE
IS LIKELY TO BE MAD AT YOU.
WHY
SHOULD IT ALWAYS BE ME TO BEND,
TO
GIVE IN TO EVERYONE, FAMILY AND FRIEND?
FOR
I HAVE FEELINGS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
AND
I'M GETTING TIRED OF DOING IT ALL MYSELF.
I
THINK IT'S TIME SOMEONE CAME TO ME,
IF
A FRIEND IS REALLY WHAT THEY WANT TO BE.
I STILL
HAVE DOUBTS INSIDE MYSELF.
IT
SURE IS HARD TO TRUST SOMEONE ELSE.
ESPECIALLY
WHEN FEELINGS GET HURT REAL BAD,
FOR
WHEN FEELINGS ARE HURT, IT MAKES YOU MAD.
JUST
BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE WANTS IT THAT WAY,
THOSE
FEELINGS ARE HARD TO MAKE GO AWAY.
YOU
TEND TO BE CAUTIOUS AND DRAW BACK,
AN
WAIT SILENTLY FOR THE NEXT ATTACK.
HOPEFULLY,
IT WILL NEVER COME
AND
THIS NEW FRIENDSHIP THAT HAS BEGUN,
WILL
PROVE TO BE A LONG AND LASTING ONE
THAT
WILL BENEFIT EVERYONE.
