Battle Ship

[can we get back under the covers please?
the real world isn't as nice as thee]


I am the type of friend
who is cool in theory.
who you like to have around,
until you don't. the easy throw away.
and I am sick with it.
always the bridesmaid, never
the bride. my self esteem,
is on its way down stream.
please remained seated
during this out of control flight.
i am running quickly,
cause yes, that is my tail
tucked between my legs.
I've given in okay?!
i am not enough, and I've finally
come to terms with that.
The phone will stop ringing
soon enough. And then you'll
only think of me in gossip
and the falsified truths you weave.
I will not stand idly by
while everyone i thought I could
trust turns to dust at the
slightest sign of something rough.
Okay guys, good job keeping
that spine up.

I'd like to say one more thing,
my final bow out, per say.
Please remember that, I am the
one you all talked about each other around.
All that dirt you're sweeping under
and ignoring the blame for,
I've got the name tags for all that.
A quick and easy sunk, your done
battle ship cheaters style seems
fair enough.

I wouldn't save you the dignity of a fair
fight away.

It's sad...but I really like it. I really liked these lines:

"my self esteem,
is on its way down stream."

"Okay guys, good job keeping
that spine up."

and
"I wouldn't save you the dignity of a fair
fight away."

[and of course the opening lines in brackets]

I wish people didn't suck so much :/

so sad :(
i particularly liked "while everyone i thought I could
trust turns to dust at the
slightest sign of something rough."

as always, a great expression of this all too common feeling...people do suck...

This is an amazing piece of work. You always write with such feeling. Its like watching the waters lap up over the flood gates walls, only to have them break and the entire force of pure emotion overtake the reader, drowning them in you flood of words.

I enjoyed this free flowing commentary on life. Some folks touch you briefly and pass on but real friends take the time to get to know the real you and stick around through thick and thin
