Poem - Who looks out for you?

I pride myself on being a good friend
Always making sure life’s going ok
Checking up when you’re on the mend
Even thought my texts sound cliche
Asking about your plans for the weekend
They normally start with a hey
To be completely honest
I'm only texting you
If it comes with a promise
That you'll check on me too

Oh you've experienced heartbreak
I'm here if you need me
No no its not a headache
Let's go grab a cup of tea
We'll spend the night talking about you
Because let's be honest
You've got problems for two
No time for a promise
To check up on me too

It must be nice to know
That even though
The world is rough
Sure enough
I'll be around
For any problem you've found
Because let's be honest
I've made you a promise
That your problems are a priority
Especially for me
I'm like a therapist but for free

My parents told me
A problem shared
Has its weight reduced
Just knowing someone cared
Can be its own boost
That alone may be true
Sharing helps you reflect
If I’m too busy looking out for you
Then people fail to recollect
That I’m here too
