Poem(How can I not?)

How can I not?

Uly Nemesis

I was often told. . .

That I shouldn’t let go,

Of those I can’t afford to lose;

That I shouldn’t let go of friends,

Even with whatever odds I’ll face;

But how can I not cry,

If a friend causes me strife?

How can I not feel sorrow,

If a friend hurts me so?

How can I not remember the pains,

If it’s the same mistakes everyday?

How can I not demand,

If I’m always taken for granted?

How can I not surrender,

If I am left alone and abandoned?

How can I not retreat,

If the one I’ve been fighting for,

Leaves me hanging in the air?

How can I not give up,

If a friend pushes me away?

How can I think of happiness,

If he does not even think of my sorrow?

How can I say I’m fine,

If he doesn’t even bother asking me,

If how am I?

How can I not feel little,

If a friend thinks my words are bitter?

How can I be confident,

If all I do is listen?

How can I talk,

If he won’t even stop talking?

How can I be a friend,

In times of need and difficulty,

If he does not even want me to?

How can I not give up,

If he won’t let me have the chance,

To voice out the reasons,

Why I hang on for so long?

How can I not be scared,

It should be courage he gives,

But I eat fears instead?

How can we be called BESTFRIENDS,

If he lets a single mistake,

Ruin and destroy our relationship?

I was often told. . .

That I shouldn’t let go,

Of those I can’t afford to lose;

That I shouldn’t let go of friends,

Even with whatever odds I’ll face;

Whatever may happen to this FRIENDSHIP,

It is not I who gave up, nor the one who let go!
