I'm the one you call
when nobody else answers,
last on that list,
I'm just your desperation.
I'm the one you talk to,
when all your "real" friends are gone,
when you need somebody to talk to,
until your real friends return.
I'm the one you ask
when you don't want to step on any toes,
just come over and ask me to bend backwards,
I always do.
I'm the one you keep around
until you no longer see the need,
'til you can throw me out,
you never really like me
I wonder why I keep going with it,
why I help when I am hurt,
I guess it is just a shout to crying skies
to see some love in a friend's eyes.
Author notes
Depression sucks hard. Just written off the top of my head, will revise it a little bit in a while, right now I'm venting more than writing. Ugh, this comes off too whiny, but I'll post it and fix it later.
Please tell me what you think

It sounds to me like a friend using a friend which is really no friend at all. I am sorry your going through such sadness. If you ever need a shoulder, I am here, even if I am just a stranger
Thanks for sharing!

It's better than you think
I totally understand your venting if that is what you perfer to call it. It makes perfect sense in the eyes on some who has been or is going thru the same thing. I have been there and done that so I can relate to it. It's not about whining , more like releasing the added fustration and stress. I tip my hat to this one I loved it, Keep on doing what you are doing. It's works better then you think. Remember you are your worst critic. Keep that in mind.

It's not whiny. It's explaining how you feel. I totally am going thru this right now and it sucks. You don't know why you stay there when all they do is hurt you? Well..if you stopped..it might hurt them, just a little bit of how they hurt you..but you don't want to cause them any pain. Maybe something along those lines. But yeah, this poem..is really..good. I don't think it needs fixing.

I actually liked this. And i think thats how it should stay because it came from the heart,I've also felt like this a couple of times and its not fun,but eventually you get through it and learn how to be there without being taken advantage of.Great poem. I loved it.

Been there, Done that....................
and you are right,it is no fun. When I was younger I grew up in a dysfunctional family home. So when I was on my own I was just desparate for love and attention. I looked for love in all the wrong placs. And allowed myself to be used unkonwingly at the time, but thinking it was love. I know this feeling quite well and you have opened up panful memories for me with this, but we live and learn....and I hope real love and friendship finds you and soon...Great expession here and I wouldn't change a thing as this shows your raw emotion..Thanks for sharing....
