The tides of life

   Why is it that when people need something from you they're always around.  But when you need something from them it's another story.  I can count my real friends on one hand.  The rest of them are just flakes that come tumbling down and never stay too long.  I wonder what the world would be like if people really started thinking about one another, I mean consciously.  Instead of always trying to one-up the other one.  I think that it's heartbreaking when you have something and it doesn't last because someone else takes it.  Sometimes I am so stressed that I start forgetting all kinds of things.  Too many things have to be done and it gets all too confusing at times.  I think that it's healthy to mistrust people, as I've found they are almost never actually on my side.  Something has got to give.
