I've known her forever
Almost all her life
I end up watching her
Go through her days in strife
I've known her since grade two
I always knew she was strange
Even though she took one pill
I knew she'd never change
All of them have done it once
I always get really mad
I make sure they're not doing it again
I let them know it's bad
But for the most part, it would seem,
That when they're hurt the most
I try to help, I really do
But end up playing a ghost
The best part is, how in the end,
When all is said and done
They say, thank you, you've helped so much
Their words sting like a gun
I've done nothing, not at all
It's pretty simple, see?
All I've done is stand and watch
So why do you thank me?
I don't need you to fight the fights
I need you to keep me sane
I need you for your shoulder and your heart
That take away the pain
None can handle the after result
You've never had to, have you?
So that's why you're so comforting and calm
That's why I'd go to you
It's because you have no idea
Because you've nothing to fear
You play the part of the soothing rain
That washes away the tear
So just because you're clueless
Doesn't mean you play no part
Just because you cannot say
You've had a broken heart
All it means is that you're there
To let them know that it's okay
So stand and watch them fight their fights
And help them at the end of the day

This is a very good poem, and well thought out.
However, the rhyming is, like 'On Frail Wings of Vanity' said, very childish. Also, the rhythm really isn't there for me. Read the whole poem out loud, you'll see what I mean. The rhythm jumps around and there's no real pattern.

- Oh my god. . . this is. . . beautiful. You completely pulled off the rhyming part without screwing up, the way you piece words together is just simply amazing. . . Although the 2 and 3rd verse, I don't really like too much. Mad and Bad are little kiddie rhymes. But still O.O Its amazing. 5/5
