No True Friends Here

Everytime I go to say something, I feel

as if no one is really listening.

Everything I say seems not to matter.

I try to talk to you, but everyone seems

to want to interrupt me.

I don't know what to do anymore.

I don't have any real friends here.

Everyone here seems to only care for

me at a certain time but when it counts

the most, they are not there.

When I go home though, I know I have

true friends who will listen to me.

I know that when it counts the most,

my true friends back at home will be

there for me no matter what.

When I am asked if I made friends in

college, the only thing I can currently

say is no.

Hopefully I will make a friend here

instead of a bunch of associates like

I have seem to have done.

Who knows?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem because some people who say they care for me seem to not really care.  I am sick of having that happen to me all the time.  Maybe people will understand exactly how I feel if they read this poem.
