Sometimes

This is about friends that play pretend, hurting the receiver more than they know.

Sometimes I don’t feel like playing third wheel,
But I do anyway,
Because that’s my part in this lopsided deal.

Sometimes it hurts real bad,
When I’m the only one who’s there,
But still you choose one who makes you mad.

Sometimes I feel like you don’t care,
But no matter how upset I feel,
You always seem to clear the air.

Sometimes I see,
How little I mean to you,
How much more you mean to me.

Sometimes I wish,
That when you leave me out,
I wouldn’t feel such dis.

Sometimes you know,
Just what is wrong,
But won’t relieve the woe.

Sometimes you do try to fix it,
But you’ll never do your best,
So I remain an ugly zit.

Sometimes you’re all I got,
But it doesn’t matter to you!
You have the friend you sought.

Sometimes I wish it would just end,
That you’d stop playing pretend,
And own up to not really being a good friend.

Author's Note

I hate when people don't take their best friend seriously, like bitch I don't even have a best friend, don't complain to me.

tell me about it. this is a very relate able poem. this is so well written and emotional. i feel like that with one of my friends. she ignores me all the time except when none of her other friends are around. then she acts like i'm not the third wheel. i wish people would just stop using others. i hate it so much. look now your making me think. great job Amanda. i'm putting this in my favorites.

Thank you! But yeah, two of my friends are best friends and whenever i'm with them they shut me out, and my third friend has another best friend that she spends most of her time with. But whatever, I have the internet! lol :)
