Forced to stay

It was nice

For the first three years

'Cause back then

You weren't the reason for all of my tears

Every morning I woke up

And I felt sick

I used to lie to myself

And blame it on getting up too quick

I used to tell myself

That staying might hurt at the moment

But if I'm gonna end it

I won't find another friend

How could I believe

That anyone's gonna like me

When you were always in my way

And wouldn't let me see

I couldn't even see

Who I am or who I was

But everyone else saw right through me

Like I'm a broken piece of glass

Well, I wasn't far away

From being one

And if there was one thing I could change in my life

I would make you undone.


I wrote this poem about my ex-"best friend". She was really toxic to me but I couldn't end the friendship because I thought that I wouln't have any other friends without her. My brother's partner proved me wrong then, so I ended the friendship. And guess what, I still have friends. It is probably my most agressive poem.
