[ how ironic... ]

how ironic...


they took it as a joke
and didnt really care
they may not have believed me,
but they were always there

every step of the way
thought it was a lie
but they managed to always wipe
the tears that i would cry

*****

Now the others know its true
believed me from the start
but didnt no how to show me
the love within their heart

they can't always be there
when i need them here
to help me see the light
and not have to live in fear

*****

the irony of it is



the TRUE friends try their best
though they don't always succeed
they're not always there
when i am in need

the FAKE friends didn't care
the way i felt inside
but somehow made me smile
when i only wanted to hide...

Author notes

after i had been sexually abused, a group (2 ppl) didnt beelives me but were there still

and who i found out now r my TRUE friends (2 other girls) believed me the whole time, and tried to b there but couldnt b there, and still arent very offten.. i found it ironic n thought id write about it

    Not bad. Friends are funny that way. Can't tell you how many times I've realized this. The ones that are always there are often just looking for something for themselves and don't want it to be a two way street.

    I'd like to see some periods in this and capital letters at the beginning of sentences. If you want a more formal look, formal poems capitalize the beginning line of each sentence also. People are falling away from it these days, but I still do it.

    Another tip. Always capitalize the word I. Rule of english and many readers will pass up a piece displayed this way because it shouts out, "immature teenager who's poetry isn't worth reading" and I can tell you right now you don't need that, because this is a nice little poem and you should get all the reads you deserve.

    I'm also not sure of the dividers you have in here. To me, the piece doesn't really need to be divided. Each stanza seemed to flow just fine to the next. Better to flow then to chop it up.

    Type was a little dark on this background, but not too bad. I might make it white or lighten it up some.

    Keep writing.

    This is really interesting.
    You brought out some great points
    regarding friendship. I do hope
    that your friends come around for you
    and hopefully they will see what it is
    that they are really doing. I think
    you did a great job with this one!
    Thanks a lot for sharing it and keep
    up the wonderful work here!
