hello? Is anyone listening? Why aren't you listening to me? Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me.…

What did I do wrong? What is wrong with me? All I ever wanted was a friend.. I guess that's why I have a dog, right? This way I won't be disappointed when you leave.

You'll leave like everyone else and find a way to blame it on me. It's always my fault why people leave. Why people don't like me.

Why doesn't anyone like me? Why's everyone leaving?

Okay, okay- I’ll try again. Let me clear my throat- hello?
Yeah, that's what I thought. You keep me hear because you know I always got your back and I'll be right here.

What about me though? You tell me everything will be alright and you'll be better and have my back…..

Oh, alright… no its fine I get it. You have to go. Its fine. I'm a big girl, I'll figure it out on my own. I always do.
