Since day one I have
Put my feelings aside
to help you feel better
Put my beliefs aside
to keep us from arguing
Put you in the spotlight
I took a seat backstage
Made sure you had what you needed or wanted
I did without
Dried your tears
while I hid mine
I listened to your problems
I had to suffer alone
Given all you have asked for and more
I am left empty handed
Defended you to everyone even when you were wrong
While you ridicule and criticize me
Supported all your dreams, wishes, desires and goals
I hear how I'll never amount to anything
Helped you do things just to keep your sanity
I struggle still with everyday tasks.
Given you advice when you felt the world had crumbled around you,
While I have to work out my problems, alone.
Dropped everything just to keep you company because you are lonely,
I never have anyone to talk to
Always helped you hide your embarassing mistakes,
While I hear you laughing loudest
Always encouraged you share your thoughts
while I am ignored
Always knew you could be whatever you wanted,
while you question my intelligence.
So if you want to question my friendship go ahead,
When all is said and done, I'll still be there....as always.
