i hate people like you. and i'd say it, over and over again, to your face of all places. people who only stick around because they want something out of it. in some pessimistic philosophical stances it is a way of life - that relationships only exist for what one can get off of another, and vice versa...and while it can be a good thing, it can equally be just as bad of a thing...

don't think i don't notice. i fight myself everytime you find the nerve to talk to me to ask, "what do you want?" i know what's coming. can you help me get this? can you help me do this? and i'm sick of it. i sure as hell may be able to find it, but i won't help you. not anymore.

and it's not like this is the first time i've noticed, either; i assume it with each person, each relationship. it just seems that every one ultimately ends up with the question, "what can you give me?" until i'm stuck giving all that's left of me. you might think it's funny - might think i'm stupid, but i always made it my priority. i didn't want to see people suffering. didn't want to see people in need.

but you're not in need. none of you are. you're just so ridiculouly greedy you couldn't look past the edge of your nose if you truly wanted to.
