&quot;Don&#039;t spend your time doing things you love, but do things you are obliged with love&quot;. <br /> <br /> In other words, don&#039;t run away from duty, but try to love duty and it&#039;ll be easier for you.

Hey you Ryan
Yes you,
I’ve read your poem
I like it too.
I know how it feels
to be alone,
I’ll tell you my story
just read along.

Where I live
Far away from you,
Appearance is important,
Conversation too.

Everyone respects me,
When meets me says hi,
I listen to their stories,
They never listen to mine.

I am the chubby one.
The bear. They come and hug me,
But inside,
They don’t care.

Even though I have friends,
I feel alone.
So I guess its not friendship
I lack in most.

I just wanted to tell you,
Ryan,
Don’t be so sad.
Your name is cool – and I bet you’re a great lad. :)

The author's comments:
I wrote this after I read Ryan's poem, "All I need is a friend". I felt so bad for him that I deciced to write this. Its not a piece of art or anything - but just my way to say what I think, or feel.
