do you ever feel that you don't matter 



and that the world would keep spinning without you 



because i feel it every day 



the push and pull of the emotional roller coaster 



really takes a toll when you've got nothing to lose 



and everyone tells you 



it's all part of life and you can't sweat the small stuff 



but you can't help but wonder 



if they never have a fear of being utterly useless 



or maybe that they're right 



and it's all blown out of proportion 



because i know how it goes 



and i scream to the world daily 



that i am here 



i exist 



and yet 



it's all but whispers in the wind 



and as i dwindle away to nothing 



i can see a light 



clear as day 



and it's you 



it's you for me 



and i for you 



the anchoring we supply to each other keeps us grounded 



at least for a little bit longer 



until one of us is free 



the chains finally breaking under the pull and stress of life 



and though i weep to see you go 



i finally understand 



the meaning of the emotion they call "friendship"
