why is it so
when things go wrong
the burden to bear
is always mine
and when i've done right
you, not me
are the one who shine
maybe i am easy
maybe i don't mind
but maybe, just maybe
you think i'd be fine
why does one think
when friendship ends
they play no part
in the tragedy
and when pain sets in
it's all me
who caused the misery
maybe i am innocent
maybe i am nice
maybe, just maybe
i look like the bullying kind
enough is enough
betrayal is finite
take your curses
and beat it
get the hell outta my life
your vile intentions
your malicious lies
enough is enough
good riddance
and goodbye

I think we all feel that way sometimes. To bad you didn't read my chicken soup post a few weeks back (sorry, but I took it down, I can always send it to you if you want to read it).
The trick is not to take things personally. A good piece of advice from Star Trek (Journey to Babel), though it is equally worthy of the Stoics is There is no offense were none is taken.
Walk away. Too often though, including me, we feel we end up walking alone. We wish someone would come to us, without our asking. We wish someone would notice our pain without our advertising.
As best as I can, I will walk beside you from the other side of the globe.
I penned a few extra lines to a well know passage on friendship a little while back when I was feeling down and in need of a little solace:
"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
If you should fall or stumble, I will help you up. If you are tired, I shall rest with you. If you can no longer go on, I will carry you.
Thanks for the word of encouragement Richard. Yes - it takes a bigger person to let go and walk away.
And I am going to be that bigger person. It consumes more of me to keep that lingering feeling of hate.
Don't let hate consume you.
The day you no longer burn with love many others will die of cold. - Mauriac
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
