Where do you draw the line

How much should a person give until they decide it is not worth it anymore? Each of us has varying degrees of where we draw the line with the thankless friend.

My friend takes what she can get

From whomever she can get it

 

She says that she is an opportunist

Children would call her a user

 

To her people are only worth the services they can provide

As she has no idea how to truly get to know someone

 

Instead of growing friendships

She grows a wall around her heart

 

Accepting being used, her friends will still try to get to know her

But she pushes them away as she has no idea how to share herself

 

When she recognizes the usefulness is gone

She doesn’t call them back until she needs them again

 

She wonders why she doesn’t have any true friends

Or why her sis doesn’t talk to her back

 

How can she be so blind to the cause of her situation?

If she could only learn to give, her tragedy could be resolved

 

I love my friend but my usefulness must be gone

As she is pushing me away as well
