People say
I've neglected my friends
And sure, that's been true
In the past.
But my experiences
Have taught the hard lesson
And I'm trying my hardest
To maintain my friendships.
So here I am
To help you through this
To assist you
In any way that I can.
They treat you badly--
Slinging false mud
Throwing poison insults
Making you feel like scum.
You know they're wrong
But that
Doesn't dull the sting
Doesn't negate the pain.
So what do I do?
Should I punish them?
No, I shouldn't
I musn't sink to their level.
But they deserve it.
They've hurt my friend
Done you wrong
And must understand that.
Can I make them understand
