Don't sit here and tell me that I'm your friend, that you like me, that I'm easy to talk to. Don't tell me that you're happy to see me, that I'm hilarious or that I'm a good listener. I know I'm a good friend, so I don't need you to remind me of the qualities I have that makes me a good person. Because I liked you, I chose to le you see my good side. Sadly, being your friend has led me to develop a bad side. Now you haven't gotten a chance to see my bad side, but keep talking slick and you might see her. No, no, no! Don't try to interrupt me because I'm trying to finish this. You can try and say that I'm mean because of a flicker of anger here or a joke that could potentially hurt your feelings, but in the words of someone famous "You ain't seen nothing yet!" I could fully show you the mean side of me that you believe you saw and maybe then you'll see a glimpse of yourself. Like I said, I know I'm a good friend, but only to the people that deserve my friendship. While you sit there, eyes wide open like you've seen a car crash, I get up and leave. I hear you calling to me and the right thing to do is come back and hear you out, but, HA, in the words of Red Butler "Frankly darling, I don't give a damn!"
