To My Dear Friends

 


 I’m sorry I forgot to praise you 
 I didn't pretend to be surprised by your words of cheap 
 horror 
 Oh, I must have forgotten “opinion” doesn't mean mine. 

 Oh please humor me with your kind smile 
 I need to feel like someone cares 
 But show your pity with realism next time. 

 did I offend you and your plastic beliefs 
 I must have not read bylaw three 
 Nicknames can be trademarked or worthless death threats 
 issued. 

 am I in the way of your ambition 
 somehow I feel like I am 
 just think without me it would all be yours. 

 were my ideas not new enough for you 
 should I remember to mention your name one more time 
 oh yes, you are my true inspiration. 

pardon me, if your little dramas do not interest me 
I was just thinking of the poor and the homeless 
your love crisis is much more important, I must have 
forgotten. 

could you please put the seventeen down for a second 
do you think that . . . 
that's right I have to say Brad pitt’s name to get your 
attention. 

am I just a worthless shell to you 
do you remember my name 
nothing like that mattered to you, I mean it’s only me. 

I don’t care what I mean to you 
but I know you are wrong, I’m not as blind as you think 
because I already knew you never really cared about me.
