listen closely young ones
for i have a story to share
a feeble attempt to make you understand
don't waste your whole life waiting,
for those who will never be there.
it's an effort that is lost,
one that takes up your whole day.
plans are never kept,
so tread lightly as you move
be aware of the fact,
that you'll never live a smooth day.
bumps and bruises
cuts and scrapes
emotional and physical pain,
will tear you away.
so please realize what i say
is not a command
but a desperate request,
in hopes that you'll understand.
those who you call friends
are not really there
they have your back on the good days
but hide their face in shame on the bad
you are your own strength,
the one you need to make it through the day
you'll always be there for yourself,
friends are not the same.
if you feel that i am wrong,
then simply take a deeper look into your life.
how many times a day do you feel let down?
this is not meant to make you feel alone,
or even to say that friends are altogether no good.
this is, however, to let you see
the only true friend you have
is you, yourself, and me.
Author notes
Just a lil something I came up with while I was walking back from the bookstore.
It seems my life as of now consists of waiting on people.
It's driving me insane, so to calm myself my mind moves quickly to form words to help me cope with and to understand what's going on.
I realize my friends have their own lives, but I just wish they could find a way to fit me into that life, because I feel as if I've fit them into mine quite well.
In fact, for most of my life my friends WERE my life.
I'd do anything for them, yet I'd always be the one sitting out feeling all alone when my friends couldn't manage to fit me into their life as I had done for them.
Well anyways, please tell me what you think and give me any ideas on how to make this piece better.
Punctuation, grammar, etc.

I'm sorry you feel that way. But I'm really glad you're not in jail!!
(Mr. Schribber) I like the piece the way it is. I love the emotion and the bluntness of it all.
"so please realize what i say
