Will i ever have that friend?

I grew up

with hardly any friends

i may off had one or two

but they weren't ever there for me...

I do everything that a true friend should

I'm a shoulder to cry on

I'm the one that gives the advice

but when i turn to them

i feel like I've walked into a rear end of

the bus...

So most of time

I am on my own

I have my children 

I have my home

but one thing I've wanted

was never there to hold my hand...

Will i ever have that friend?...

Nicely written monologue about one sided friendships. I like it so far and maybe you could expand on it a little, definitely a positive poem so far.

Some times I feel like my lot in life has long been cast.. even though I know there are many that call me a friend, life is still lonely, and when the time comes to call upon those whom I have supported, lifted up, and brushed off in the past, they don't always hear the call, wrapped up in their own world. Much like you, I suffer the same fate, and because I do.. I have learned to turn inward and count only on myself. I turn that frustration inward, and write it outward.. God grant me grace to weather any storm... Sad sentiment, but so well conveyed.

Powerful poem. sad theme but well expressed and nicely crafted.

This is so very moving, and almost too personal to comment. My heart aches. But I'm thinking that the answer is, yes, you will.

how has no one reviewed this!? this is so sad and emotive! you echo the plight of a loner so well - I wonder if it has personal themes? if not you convey it well! so sad, there'll always be a friend that will be there for someone, just have to find them!
