History Repeats Itself

Sometimes when people look up to you, its not always a good thing.

Because most of them, can only look up, and not sideways.
Its very hard for them to associate with you at their level.

They feel at best with those beside.
They feel most fulfilled with those below.

They cant treat you like a normal friend.
Because to them, you're not normal.

You merely 'serve a purpose' to them,
A means to an end.

The only time you're wanted,
Is when you're only needed.

Sometimes a stranger can mean so much to you.
Even encourage you and make you feel good.

They may not be leaders or people in authority,
But they still do the work of a leader to you.

They may not be your friend,
But they know how to befriend you and do the work of a friend.

Situations dont break my heart.
Friends do.
