Friends

Sometimes I feel like friendships are stretching me everywhere
like a thinly woven spiderweb, strong, but not big enough
To hold me and my friends
I want everyone at once
But if that's not possible 
I'm worried some ties will break
and my web will be smaller.
I'm friends with basically everyone in my middle school, which is tiny
Twelve kids, wrapped up in our own drama
Am I enough to support all these things I care about?
I wonder sometimes.
I think I am
But maybe that's not enough
I try to figure out what would be best for all of them
But sometimes I just want what's best for me.
Is that bad?
