Friend?

Sometimes I just don't understand the people around me, even though I try so hard to. To change my frequency to match theirs, to change my tone to make myself heard, to bring myself down low so that I could bring them back up, to lend out may hand so that they can take it, to just be a friend.

But I find it harder and harder everytime I see them, every meeting became a drag when it's just school, school, school. When it's about the work piling up, when it's about the lagging in studies, when it's just about school.

But I am ready. Ready for the changes I'm about to see in my friends. Friends who won't have time to just to be a friend.

Do I consider myself slacking? Maybe... or it's just that my work extends to more than just school. I have a huge responsibility piled on my shoulders. Imagine my mother working just to provide transportation money for me. Imagine my aunt and grandma helping my mum with my allowances for school. Imagine me giving tuition just so I could pay for my bills.

Some people just don't know how to be grateful... some people just don't understand...
