There was a story of
A boy who gave everything
To a crowd for nothing.

He once thought he
Had always belonged
To friends he longed.

They weren't friends,
They weren't family,
They accepted him out of amity.

He competes
For love,
He will never receive.

He cuts off limbs
For him to fit
Into their molds.

He was a jar of candy,
He threw everything out for them,
Until all he felt was

Empty.

They made him think it
Would last forever,
Had I heard that before?

Perhaps friendship
Is the only ship
That will sink.
