I’m just the nice girl
The therapist friend
Who’s seen enough
To bring her to her end
I give them advice
Cause I feel bad
And I’d never want
To see them sad
It kind of feels like
I’m being used
They only call me
When they’re confused
Then they’ll leave
From time to time
And expect me to be waiting
On the other line
And I’m so sick
Of this life
Can someone just
End this strife
I’m just like them
Why can’t they see
That I’m broken too
And they’re just like me
I’m just the nice girl
The therapist friend
Who’s seen enough
To bring her to her end
I solve their problems
But that doesn’t mean
That I don’t need help too
Cause friendship isn’t supposed to be
One-sided.

If this comes from lived experience, then I so wish that your friends could see that you need a shoulder to lean on, too... I'm sorry for what you're going through. I'm not really one to give advice, except to say that it's always okay to ask for help. Sometimes we can't always wait for someone to ask, How are you doing? as much as we desperately want them to. Sometimes, we just have to let people know, unprompted -- and that's okay. You might be surprised at who's ready and willing to offer support once they've shaken off their own woes of the day with a little reminder that their friend is in need. Apart from all that, this is a sensitive and moving poem and will resonate with many who read it.
Hi, thank you so much! Yeah, I'm fine now, this happened to me a year or two ago, and I realized how others have gone through the same thing too. However, I had never seen anything online about this, so at the time I felt alone. So I thought I might put this out there so people who experience this might feel a little less alone :)
