I am everyone's sounding board. they all dump on me. i hear it all. relationship drama, financial woes,job loss, family issues, health problems, school problems, then i have to deal with my own. but where are they all when i need them? Instead of support and advice i get the unanswered phone calls, I-will-call-you-when-you-feel-better, lets-not-talk-about-you-right-now, how about-we-discuss-the-news-today, or more importantly why don't you just cheer up so you can hear my problems , quit your whining! i feel alone i must admit, especially when its the most important persons in your world who do this. am i just dumb and stupid? when will i learn that the world is all for self? when will i wake up and smell the coffee? when will i learn? when will i learn to depend on me. but what about those days when i am crying to be heard and tears roll down my cheeks when no one is looking, i hurt too and need a listening ear as well. i do know what alone feels like.
