#badfriends
Everyone gets hungry.
But it does depend on what you are hungry for.
When people meet me they are hungry for friendship
But it doesn't last
They use your energy, your time, your ability to do things
And turn it upside down making it worthless.
People took advantage of my kindness.
Look where that got me.
My confidence has been shot
now holding a bullet in my chest
They could do whatever they wanted
They didn't have to follow the rules.
But they would ask me if they could do something.
I wouldn't know the consequences and they would beg me to
They would plead with me
and I'd relent
But for them it was never enough.
They always wanted more from me.
The more I gave the more hungry they became
They feed on my will to please them
They drank my fear of being a bad friend.
a bad human being.
Not any more.
I've changed
And over the years
Carefully people have been chosen for my trust.
They don't want from me
They don't strive to be me
They want to be with me.

Warning-This poem contains themes of self harm and suicide.
What will it take for you to finally care?
You never cared to ask how I was doing,
and then when I ended up in the hospital,
you were all over me,
asking questions,
and telling me I was going to be okay.
Will it take my suicide for you to admit you were wrong for what you did to me?
You'll keep lying to our friends
until the day I die.
Then, you'll feel too guilty to keep this lie going,
and you'll cave in.
Will it take me carving deep wounds into my skin for you to say you're sorry?
When you see the cuts
I know you'll ask me if I'm okay because your mom is worried about me.
You know I'm not,
but we're both liars here.
Now I lay here,
in my bed, covered in my own blood,
wondering
what will it take
for you to listen to my problems,
for you to apologize,
for you to care,
for you to realize you were a terrible friend to me.

I had really hoped
To forget you, once and for all
However, it seems you are always hovering around
Like an annoying little mosquito
Ready to **** the blood
Of anyone and everyone in your vicinity
And looking for that perfect window of opportunity
To mock my shortcomings
Which apparently do not exist
For your precious little "best friend"
Who has a smug smile on his face
Ready to defend you at the drop of a hat
Of course, it will only be a matter of time
Before you tire of him as well
Because, people exist merely for your needs
Which are about as realistic
As Telugu action movies are
Therefore, it is a huge irony
That you were my first female friend
Of course, I am not sure you understand
What friendship truly means
Because, you promise one thing
And then proceed to do the exact opposite
May God help that unfortunate soul
Who truly cares for you
Because s/he will be in for a rollercoaster ride
Which will never end
Until your delusional fantasies are satisfied
By the time that eventually happens
S/he would be dead
Anyway, it was you
Who wanted to be friends with me in the first place
I, being a naive idiot
Readily accepted your offer of friendship
And was with you
Through thick and thin
However, you cut me off
When you needed me no longer
I apologised to you a number of times
Not because I did anything wrong
But because your inflated ego required a massage
Alas! To you, I was nothing more than a problem child
Whom you wanted to mould
According to your whims and fancies
I was never an independent human being
Who could make his own choices
And live his life on his own terms
Your own Brahmin sensibilities matter more to you
Than a friend who genuinely cared for you
Unlike "Mr Smug Face", whom I had mentioned earlier
You destroyed my self-confidence
And turned me into an insecure wreck
God knows how many more people exist
Whom you've treated as "use and throw"
Just keep one thing in mind, though
There will surely be a time
When the tables are turned
And it is you who will become a lonely wreck
Then there will be noone
Who is ready to rush to your aid
Because, you will be forgotten; once and for all
As you deserve to be

There are days when I want to give up
I want to leave so I don't have to deal with you
I want to cry
But I don't think you deserve to win
You don't deserve my tears
You don't get to become 'famous' on my account
You deserve friends who are as ****** as you
You deserve to be brought up under a fake name
You deserve everything that's coming to you
Cause Karma's a *****

It stings to sit at a table with you
and know you are trying to pull my friends away
It stings to sit 3 feet away from you
and no one at the table is going to acknowledge me
It stings to think that you had my heart
and you threw it away for someone who dumped you after a week
It stings to look back on us and our good times
and realize I wasn't happy
It stings to know you still have a pull on my life
and I don't want you anywhere near me anymore
It stings so much
and you're still putting lemon in the hole you put in my back when you stabbed me

Sometimes I wonder why none of my friends talk to me anymore
Then it hits me
You drove them all away

Wow
I really thought this would have ended differently
Just because we’re not friends
Doesn’t give you the right to be
******
And sometimes people **** up
And sometimes things don’t work out
But people are still people
And they deserve to be treated with
Respect
How would you feel
If you were treated like ****
From an ex-friend
Just because we’re not friends
Doesn’t mean our mutual friends
Can’t spend time with me
The world doesn’t revolve around you
It doesn’t revolve around me
It revolves around the sun
And I promise you
You will never be the sun

Hack, hack, hack
At my memories.
Tear at them to show my face.
Follow me like a lost soul to torment me in my place.
All it's doing is making it worse for
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
How many more?
I can count but I can never undue your raveling.
Can you embellish your pride, when you have no one to turn to?
Such a pity, such a pity it is of how you've become so petty.
A beautiful being so divine falling from so high.
Sorry highness, I won't be there to catch you this time.
Not after a betrayal that measures up to my height and above the clouds.
Not even the gods can save us, from something that can turn so loud.
I will bow one last time,
Maybe blow one last kiss.
But I will never give one last chance.

Don't Think about her smile.
Don't Think about her laugh.
Don't Think about the way she hugs you.
Don't Think about all the good times you had together.
Don't Think about the way you love her.
Because she will Never love you in the same way.
