When I said the unsaid
I expected to still feel loved
Still feel wanted
I expected everything to be the same
But I was disillusioned
Ignorant
Naïve
They’re reactions were that of judgment and condemnation
They use to keep themselves close
Now they are distant
As if I have a disease
Or if it is contagious through air-born pathogens
Each of them are afraid
Afraid of the unknown
Afraid of anything and everything that contradicts what they see as “acceptable”
Losing them is draining my whole body of blood and warmth
The endless tears I cried and still cry soak my pillow and keep me awake in the night
Emptiness overwhelms me, knowing that they won’t be there
They are to blind to see the hurt they are causing
They say they still care
They’ll still pray for me
That this doesn’t mean we’re not friends
But I will no longer trust the untrustworthy
They can keep their ignorant and “Holier Than Thou” façade
It will soon be broken down by the harsh reality, which they do so well to keep away from
Forgive them for their judgments and stereotypes
Forgive them for tearing our friendship down so quickly
As if I were never an importance
Like I was just there to take up space and to fill awkward silences
Seven years of common ground
Understanding
Love
Care
All wasted, a waste of time
Seven years of worry
Tears
Smiles
Laughs
Staying up late, wondering if your best friends made it home
If they’re hurt
If they’re lost
Or if they’re just doing ok
A great big waste of time
I’ve tried to make them understand
Put themselves in my shoes
See it from my point of view
They can’t
They are too closed-minded
They are unable to negotiate
My attempts do not even make a dent
You cannot persuade the unpersuadable
Although I know this, I still try
Thinking maybe this time I’ll get through to them
Just maybe they’ll understand
They’ll see it my way
They’ll come around someday
Won’t they?
They never will
I’m fighting a lost cause
Knowing, that in the end, I will be defeated
But I don’t need friends like them
Conditional friends
They are there when everything is “roses and rainbows”
But retreat when things seem unstable or when they feel their “perfect world” is being threatened
I don’t need friends who don’t allow me to be myself
And who don’t accept me for who I am
I will not be overran by zombies who follow along with everything that is told to them
These are people who cannot and will not think for themselves
People who cannot change
People who are afraid to make a stand
This is my stand

| The poem was well written though sad indeed. No one deserves friends like that. A true friend would let you be you no matter what. |

Good poem..really expresses your emotions......By the way if your friends cannot accept you for who you are and how you feel then in reality they were never(truly)friends
you are who you are...be safe be happy |

Great write! You must be strong and cling to your principles, I support you and there a loads of people that do the same, I have gay friends and we're all open minded if you need to talk pm me I'm happy to help :)
