Can you Handle it?

Folder: 
Friends

Leave or Stay

Make up your mind

Can you truly handle

What I've become

So sensitive yet manipulative

Why is it I always feel to blame?



I know you mean well

Yet why cant you stay strong

I build you up

Only to have to hold you there

Expecting the same in return

Whenever I fumble



Only it seems

Everytime I stumble

Trying to regain my footing

You fall down farther

Unable to handle it

So I pull myself together

Hiding it all inside once more



And pull you back up

Holding you up

As I hide the truth

Knowing you cant handle

What you claim you can

Knowing you dont want to know

What you say you do...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I just dont get how I have to build up your confidence and self esteem yet the moment mine crumbles its like you cant help.. Its like you cant handle helping me, despite all I try to do for you....

sad truth

Sometime you have to just leave the other person go and ONLY work on yourself. It hurts because you love the person... but it is very very hard to pick both you and someone else up. you can only help someone that is willing to help themselves. Good luck!


We are all just litter boxes waiting to be cleaned out. And when we die we are finally clean. Don't fear death... welcome it ... when it is time.
