'Friend'
You think you know me, you think you're my friend
 But when you learn of my life, our friendship will end
 I've been through more than you can think, 
 you think I'm okay but I'm on the brink
 Sanity evades me
 Runs and ducks and hides
 Insanity craves me
 Like a druggie and his high
 Learn of my past and you will all know
 That in my years I've taken a blow
 To body, mind, and spirit. 
 That's where I'm hurt. 
 Stop, be silent, and hear it.
 I wear my pain like a shirt.
 All you must do is pay attention and look.
 If you do I'm read like an open book
 If I tell you my past you will all judge
 Your insults and taunts I've always dodged
 When my story is over will you still care? 
 Probably not,
 They never do when I share
 Goodbye dear 'friend', 
 I will miss you so much
 You should have stuck around
 Your heart I wished to touch.
