Don't come to me to end your strife <br />It's not my job to fix your life <br /> <br />You're strong enough, stand on your own <br />Responsibility lies in you alone <br /> <br />Don't think I don't care because I do <br />That's why I'm saying it's up to you <br /> <br />If you wish to vent or talk it out <br />I always be there, without a doubt <br /> <br />It's your burdens that I'm not willing to take <br />Because then our friendship would be at stake <br /> <br />And, I'd have to claim your victories if <br />Your problems, each, I fixed <br />Then, how could you be happy <br />If so much of life, you missed?<br /><br />Kim Hilliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-missed/
