Why must I be trod upon time and again,
To be the only one to try and help a friend.
What is it inside of me that makes me not say no,
When tired and unwilling I am sure to always go.
Why must I apologies and back down from this fight,
When everything inside of me knows that I am right.
I know that they have hurt me and to my face have lied,
So why in an argument must I always see their side.
Where is the spite I see others have within,
That makes them seek revenge for all that’s done to them.
Must I be the bigger person, the one to forgive,
But how could I not when my heart is not a sieve.
If I couldn’t see myself in the other persons place,
Maybe it would be easy for these feelings to erase,
This empathy within that I can not control,
But then maybe without it, I would not be whole.

"Embarrassing is having to put weird stuff in your authors notes just to enter a contest."
A)It is your choice to enter or not. So don't complain. They're my points to give away. If they're not good enough for you; you won't get them.
B ) If I'm going to judge all these poems, I mind as well get something out of them. -

I'm sorry I meant it as a joke not to be rude.
It was early morning and I couldn't think of anything else to put

That's fine... I apologize for overreacting like that then. a lot of people haven't been following the rules, and it is really beginning to annoy me. Feel free to reenter if you haven't already.

Im so sorry you have ever felt this way. I know we all feel this way at times or I know at least I do. The great thing is that those who really do care and love you will realise how they are treating you and try to fix it and those who dont do not deserve your friendship anyways. Always stay the sweet, loving, caring and forgiving person you are!! huggles
