Poetry On Odyssey: Wasted Time

Busted on the ground. No wonder I feel all over the place

Some people have the unfortunate reality of putting effort into people and getting nothing back and it's not exactly a "good time" emotion. In fact, it kinda hurts, a lot; especially when you're made to feel like there's a possibility they do care. This is a poem I wrote on that:

Wasted Time

I don't hate you.

I hate the fact that I wasted so much time on you

It was never about making you feel something

Or even giving me a chance

It's the fact that all you had to say was no...

And you didn't...

Making me feel like I was worth something in your eyes

When really

You didn't care if you ever spoke to me again

And for what

To feel valued?

To feel some glimmer of hope that someone you want to might care?

You love saying no one cares about you

Raving about how people dislike you just because of your appearance…

Ignoring people that loved you not just for that

But also who you were aside from it all.

And no matter what I did

You showed me every effort

Was pointless

And I was the fragile glass that fell for you

Hoping to be caught

But busted on the ground

No wonder I feel all over the place

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
