#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.

Hungry
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.

What Will It Take?
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

Friends
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

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.

Just don't:
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.
