“The world is filled with unlikely friendships. How do they begin? With one person desperately in need and the other willing to lend a helping hand. When such kindness is offered we are finally able to see the worth of those we have previously written off. And before we know it, a bond has formed regardless of whether others can understand it. Yes, unlikely friendships startup everyday; no one understands this more than the lonely. In fact, it is what they count on.” – Desperate Housewives
My class mates played with me because I shared my lunch with them
But would have they if I hadn’t?
My teachers adored me because I did the homework
But would have they if I didn’t?
My friends call me because I party with them every Saturday night
But will they if I don’t?
My helpers take care of me because I pay them
But will they if I can’t?
My subordinate respects me because I guide him
But will he if I give up?
My parents love me because I am their son
But would they if they knew the truth….?
