we're used to it


we’re used to it being the friend that always is there being the one to listen and dry the tears we like to play the supporting role we care deeply about others, even too much everyone wants us to stand by their side but we are never good enough to be stood by we bleed silently waiting for someone to care we are the ones that ends up with cancelled plans and broken hearts when we cry there is no one to dry the tears but we don’t dare say a word because being that friend… means being there for our people even when our people won’t be there for us
