Friends Are Nice To Have
   I saw him one morning and all of a sudden his attitude triggered something within me that I was forced to say what I did that day.  I don't call it hatred and I can't call it apathy either.  It was just a spur of the moment kind of thing when I just really had to tell him what was on my mind.  Hopefully, no offense was taken.
   "You know what your problem is.  Your problem is that you are so selfish, in your ways and in your actions.  I wonder if you for one second stopped to think that you are not the only one in this world who has problems.  You are not the only one who gets to experience misery and frustrations.  Look around you, and see that you are but just a face in the crowd of many who are more or less in the same situation as you are.  Or maybe even worse.  Sometimes, I just don't understand you.  Sometimes, you are too happy and at other times, your damn mood swings just kick in and it seems like noone can do a thing about it.
     I would hate to break this to you but you need to know that other people besides yourself have feelings too.  But I guess you just don't see that because you are too wrapped up in your own little world to notice that others want to help you.  They want to share in your misery and frustrations so that you can let off a little steam and cool down.  But you're so selfish.  You'd rather be by yourself.  Look around you and open your eyes.  There are people who are willing to help you.  People who want to be a part of your life.  All you have to do is let them in.  Why do you think I've stopped trying to get close to you?  I tried it once, twice, and maybe a third time but you just kept pushing me away.  As if my feelings didn't matter.  As if you didn't need any of my consolation.  As if you didn't need my friendship.  I want to be your friend.  To be there to lend you a hand to help you.  To be there to lend you an ear when you need someone to hear you out.  But for some strange reason, I just get the feeling that you don't even want a friend.  Do you think that as you live you can keep to yourself while you stay here on earth and not connect with any person?  Relationships, personal or not, are inevitable.  Somehow everyone in this world is wildly connected or related to each other.  Maybe through our family trees, we find out that somehow we are personally related.  But that's besides the point that I want to make.  I just want to be a friend to you and to those who let me be their friend.  Is that too much to ask?  Forgive me, if I am too straightforward in my request but I can't help but notice that whenever you have a problem you become  angry at the world (as in the whole world).  What did the rest of the few million people in this planet do to you?  Instead of hating the world, I think you need to consider first those who are really at fault in the situation.  I tried to make you like me as a friend, but it seemed like nothing worked.  Is that too much to ask?  The more I put of myself, the more you pulled away.  So as you read this, I'd like to leave you with one thing in mind.  And that is to tell you that: Relationships are like two way streets.  It is a give and take deal.  One person can't just keep taking and taking; for if that was the situation, then it's not called a relationship.  It's just called selfishness.
   Upon reading what I just said, would you want to be my friend too?
