I am doing it all wrong



I am doing it all wrong
I had chosen the wrong
Friends that had
No respect for me
Also they always had
Put me down
I just hated to be
Put down
Also I want then
To stop talking behind
My back to their
So called friends
Yes I had also confronted
Then by saying
I need to be respected
That is all I need
From you friends
Is it too much to ask
That from you?
Yes I have respect for you
Friends
I am sick to be also mistreated
By you
Please go and live your
Own lives
And forget that I exist
I will leave my life
Alone again
Yes I am also living
Again in isolation
I am not rushing this time
To make friends
I have the right to choose
The people to be my friends
Also the people I had finally chosen
I like then very much
I also hope they are Christians like me
Also I hope they accept me the way
I am
