My Best Friend?

I thought she was my best friend

Forever friends is what we said

Not long did it take her to forget

She’s moved on to others now

We see each other now and then

And it seemed to be okay

We chatted and laughed and had some fun

Till she found she needed to insult me

She talked about her writing

And how I could not

Her reply to my disgust was

You can manage the cat sat on the mat

I nearly cried at this point

So upset was I

Why did I not stand up for myself

Is what I hear you cry

I do not know the answer

As to why I sat and took this

I know though now

She’s not my friend

My other friend was mortified

At sitting through this abuse

But what could he say

An argument in public, whats the use?

I laughed it off and carried on

But my heart was breaking

She carried on insulting me

Till I could take no more

She seemed to think if she laughed a bit

That would make it right

But I’m the one that’s hurting

And I’m not looking for a fight

She wants to meet for lunch real soon

But you’ll understand that I’m not keen

I just want friends who like me

Not use me to make themselves look smart

I think I won’t be going to lunch

I think I’ll meet other friends

One’s who like to talk as equals

And appreciate what I am

I may not be Charlotte Bronte

Or even Currer Bell

But I hope I can do better

Than the cat sat on the mat

Please let me know if you think

My ex-friend was right

For if that is the sad truth

I will stop writing now

I have a new best friend now

The best I could ever wish for

He encourages me to write

And be the best I can

I want to thank him for his friendship

For always being around

For picking up the pieces that day

When my confidence she’d shattered

Snow, once again a powerful poem.

She was obviously no true friend of yours. I hope now you have a true friend who will stand by you forever.

One true friend is all you need in life.

Wishing you friendship

Your friend

boney, thank you. for a long time i did believe she was my best friend but talking to another friend made me see what she really was. i believe you are right in that we only need one true friend, and i am lucky enough to have one.
wishing you friendship too

It is "better Than the cat sat on the mat". Ironic that. She insulted you, hurt you to the point of tears, then inspired you to write a very heart-felt poem.

"The cat sat on the mat": you managed to make her words a very meaningful part of your poem. Well done!

You will meet many people along this journey that we call life, who will insult and discourage us for the sole purpose of making themselves appear grander. They aren't worth a second thought. "The Cat Sat on the Mat" would have been a good title for this piece, Snow!! Learn from this incident and rise above.....Jerry

jerry, how right you are. i never thought of The Cat Sat On The Mat as the title, i think it would probably have been better. Though it still hurts i am moving on, contact is kept to a bare minimum. thanks for your support.

thank you lacey, i think you are an amazing writer too. it took me a good few months and the support of my good friend to make me realise how right you are. i am trying to keep our contact to a minimum to save me any more heartache. my friends on booksie are better friends than her.

it hurts to hear an insult to your friend especially if it come from your bestfriend. Of all who will so those words it is your bestfriend. But what hurts most?insulting like what your bestfriend does or your bestfriend who ignores you and make you feel you are nothing to him now? Without knowing the reason of it.

it is very hurtful to find that your best friend thinks so little of you and wants to make themselves look funnier, more likeable at your expense. this is no friend at at all. i moved on and found a new friend. there is no point in trying to find out why they did what they did. sooner or later they will find they have lost the best friend they could have had and you are much happier with the friends you now have.

wow, your ex-friend is no firend at all. I mean you don't know me and i don't know you, but i really felt your pain, and i could feel how you felt, and this "friend" is really not. I'm really glad that in your poem you expressed how you moved on, it was nice. And you seem like a good person! Anyways that's what i wanted to say, i'm glad that your other friend is there, they seem really great! And i'd always be your friend if you want!
great writing!

Am new to Booksie and picked your name at random. So glad I did. Haven enjoyed every poem I have read so far and this is no exception. Please stay as far away from this woman as possible. There are enough people in the world who will put you down without your 'friends' doing so. Amazing writing.

What a cow she was to you ! Good riddance to bad rubbish I say......... I am very happy that you seem to have found a "proper" friend to share your time with I hope that he takes proper care of you Snowbelle and supports your talents.

Although I dont know you I know you are better off without her girl !.

Fantasic poem as well

I am new to reading poems online and I hope my comments are ok....

Truely yes that was a wonderful poem. When i had my firt Reconciliation, when we should forgive and be good friend. The best friend i thought i had was all bad. She never said sorry so i never actually really forgived her. At least i have other friends! Take care in the future!

What a B*tch !!!!!!!!!

How can she do this to a supposed friend ? I cannot believe she did this to you.

Didnt your other friend defend you?

Glad to see you have found yourself a proper friend instead of a nasty snidy cow like that one. (I would use stronger words but children might read this)

Hope she has no friends at all now

Have a nice day

thank you for this comment. i think she was trying to impress my other friend for reasons i wont go into for his sake. and in his defence i think he was so shocked by what she was saying he didnt know how to react. i dont think she has many friends left.

Good poem I like it..

Sometimes friends dont think what they say and dont realise it could hurt. Could it be she did mean it as a joke?

Maybe you could give her another chance?

thank you for this kind comment. i dont think i can give her another chance. i gave her lots and each time she said something worse than the previous. there has to come a time when you say enough is enough.

i am sorry your friend has done the same thing to you as my ex friend did to me. it amazes me how many people have said similar things and that their friend has not even noticed that they are upset. you can only forgive so many times before you find you cannot forgive any more. move on like i did and find yourself a new best friend who treats you the way you deserve to be treated, you are worth it. take care of yourself. snow

What gives her the right to say such nasty things to you? You are a very good writer and dont listen to anyone else who says different.

Why didnt you punch the stupid bit&h in the mouth then and there?

Glad you found a true friend hope he takes good care of you.

A real pity to hear about. Friends should always be supportive and yet, so many aren't. I find once you label somebody your best friend things tend to go awry.

Not a bad poem.

Sounds like a big misunderstanding to me..... Maybe your new "best friend" had reasons for not defending you?

Maybe you need to more careful who you choose as best friends.

Dont the "cat on the mat" poems rhyme by the way?

i think you dont know the full facts....this was not the first time she had done what she was doing. i cant see what reason my new best friend would have for not defending me other than the ones stated previously. dunno about the cat on the mat poems. it wasnt really relevant other than another way for her to demean me.

Snow - I'm sorry some people have to try to drag other people down. You know the full story and some broad on the internet doesn't. You know where things stand with you and your new best friend and its way better then some stranger on the internet can imagine.

I think she was jealous. I have known a lot of people who put me down because they were jealous of my MIGHTY READING SKILLS!!! .......................sry....got carried away there..... anyways, that was a great poem, and something that girl obviously fails to realize is that when writing, you can't be "good" with cat sat on the mat unless you put certain feeling into it. For example, you can just say: 'The fat cat sat on the mat', or you can say:'The fat cat lazily sat on the mat, purring gently, as his owner placed on his head, a fancy ginger top hat to match his fluffy ginger fur.'

I know mine was more of a childish thing, but you see my point, right? But there's also more to it that that. You have to put a certain amount of feeling into your piece, depending on what you are writing, and what you are writing about.

pkmp thanks for this insightful comment. i agree fully with what you said. it was her nasty comments along with the support of my best friend that spurred me to write and whilst i may never be a best selling poet i have found something that i enjoy and people seem to enjoy reading my work. so i have something to thank her for.

brenda20222

don't listen to that girl, you're a really good writer. In fact you don't have to be a good writer to write poetry anyway, your feelings express it pretty well. And i bet the reason why she says those mean things to you is because, deep down, she's insecure. It makes her feel better to dog on other people, but eventually she's going to find out that she made a grave mistake. she'll be going through hell sometime eventually, and you'll be on top.

brenda thanks a lot for this comment. i think you are right she was insecure and poking fun at me made her look smarter (in her eyes only). she lost more than one friend that day and she is losing out in more ways than she can ever know.

Life is what you make it. Yourself. Life is not made of what others think or say. You did a great job on this poem. I can feel the emotion in your writing. Many times insecurity, or jelousy can come out of someone in the form of critisism. Forgive those in thier ignorance who hurt you. Eventually hopefully you can rebuild the friendship you once had. If not, then at least be able to be friendly and not judgemental against each other. Keep writing, I look forward to reading more .

I like this poem but unfortunatley it is too true of today. Friends seem to like to use one particular for their own gain. Real friends just accept what you are and that should be that. As long as you are caring and have an open ear and mind nothing else should matter. Her definite loss.

A very big thank you to everybody who reads this poem and those that have already read it. it has amazed me how many people have been treated badly by the person they think is their best friend. no-one deserves to be treated badly and if you are this is not the person who will be your best friend forever. i am so very lucky as i have now found mine. i know that whatever i tell will be in confidence and no matter what the next day nothing has changed. the information is not stored up to throw back in my face. you are a real friend and i love you to bits. thank you again and again. in fact thank you comes nowhere near enough, x

Broken-hearted by the revelation of a friend's betrayal, I searched the Internet for poems on that subject. I found yours, and it was lovely. Thank you. Your "friend" is wrong.

thank you for this wonderful compliment.
i am so sorry your friend hurt you. it took me a lot of courage to stop having contact with this woman, and a lot of support from the person i now consider my best friend. even now nearly a year on i find myself wanting to get in contact with her but then i remember the tears and heartache and i dont. the support i have had from my best friend has been invaluable. if you ever feel the need to vent your spleen my email address is on my homepage and you are very welcome to email me.take care of yourself. snowbelle/sophie x

Wow...this poems just speaks of me and my ex-friends....they hurt me badly and they thought i wouldn't get hurt but I'm thankful that i have at least one good friend who held me as i cried. It just shows not everyone is a good friend. And the pain it still here...every time i think about them i get sad but hey you know the say 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' I hope you don't feel as much pain as before. And you write wonderfully.

its amazing how many people this happens to and how we let it go on for so long. such is our faith in our 'friend'. i love that saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' and i believe this is what has happened in this case. it has taken me a long time to get over this incident but i am stronger because of it and the pain i think now has gone.
thank you for saying i write wonderfully it is a big confidence booster.
take care

How great it is to write about these short life experiences which are in fact have more long term effects than we can ever imagine. To have a friend in this busy and crazy world and to give yourself to having a friend unfortunately doesn't allow for them to be allowed to hurt you and then continue to exist within your little life. Life is so short that you must only surround yourself with people who care for you and you care for them. There is no price one can put on a true friend but it is your own responsibility to find that true friend and know and understand them.

hey boogaloo what a wonderfully true comment you make. since this incident i have been much more careful about who i choose to call my friend and i find i am much happier. a true friend supports and encourages no matter what. i am lucky to have found one like this now. i like to think i do the same back. true friends forever
take care and enjoy your true friends

I have had a few friends in my life everyone of them has just left or betrayed me so in the end I thought why bother having friends they use you and waste your time! anyway family is more important than friends!

azucena i am really sorry this happened to you but you will eventually find someone who will be there for you no matter what, someone that will be proud to be your friend and you will be proud to call your friend. i too believe family is very important but sometimes they too can let you down.
take care, much happiness to you

I like this, I can relate to it too. One of my best friends has been treating me like dirt for months now, my other two best friends think I should give up on her completely, they are the only friends I have that I feel comfortable telling about my writing, I know if I told my ex best friend she would just laugh at me. I wrote my own poem on the subject called '6 years of friendship gone' I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Keep up the good work!

soriah thanks for this great comment. i agree with your other friends. give up, you are only hurting yourself. a real friend wouldnt laugh she would encourage and support.
will be sure to drop by for a look at your poem.

I know just how this feels. It hurts to have a friend you thought you could trust stab you in the back, but sometimes you just have to move on. Your true friends will always be the ones to stay by your side when everyone else seems to fade away.

thank you for commenting. you always assume that your friends are there no matter what and when they do something like this it is a complete betrayal as it is so unexpected. how right you are about true friends. if you have one true friend you are lucky, i count my blessings because i found my one true friend.

It is a great poem.Friends should share or reflect simailar personalities in order for then to enjoy each other. They should not try to change each other.

It is a great poem.
