I hate how you always treat me like shit,
All I ever wanted was a friend,
But each time I try to talk to you,
You ignore what I'm trying to say.
I'm not that self absorbed,
I'm not up myself at all,
Sometimes I just need help,
Everyone does.
I help you when you need it,
Like when she broke up with you,
But when I'm upset and crying,
And want to talk about me,
It's always the same story,
You're too busy, too tired, sleeping,
And can't help me fix myself.
I'm sick of you treating me like this,
I think I have to say goodbye,
Find someone that actually cares,
I never wanted to say this,
But goodbye my friend, goodbye.

I know how this feels to be honest. Plenty of my friends are like this in that I help and support them through turmoils in their lives, but when times become tough for me they don't come running for me and sometimes will avoid helping at all costs, so I end up sad and teary on my own. These types really aren't true friends anyway, which is a shame.

Nice write. This is a common situation which you have expressed well. I think a little more poetic device would be useful here; it reads more like a list of thoughts. On the whole, an absorbing and honest poem! Thanks for entering and best of luck!
