for me the line breaks feel off, a little enjambment would go a long way. first line feels kind of weak. the 2nd also feels weak and somewhat forced. lastly; while you can have broken meter and make it work, for me it doesn't work well enough/ the first line is sing songy the second line tries to be but fails, a suggestion would be to lose [and i have friends, or start with these words on a new line. finally finally, i can't tie the poem to the title.

Do they care? Are they scared that I'm just feeding on their lives
and that I try to hold a lie that's always fleeting
Let them in. Let it go
Let it show what's within
Beneath the surface there is thumping
with a purpose to keep punching my time
