Being my friend has nothing to do with charity.

people will talk bad, that’s just what they do,
maybe it hurts but it gives you strength too,
and life will never be fair , no matter how fair we are,
you have to take baby steps before you can get far,
your friends can be your enemies and your enemies your friends,
we can start anything with anyone without knowing how it ends,
and maybe we have stories, like yours or like mine,
but in order to write a book you have to start with the first line,
and mountains and obstacles will pass our path, and make us want to stop,
but if you don’t start climbing you will never reach the top,
and maybe some things just aren’t that important, but they just can’t leave our thoughts,
sometimes we just can’t give up too soon, we have to give it multiple shots,
this road called life can be so lonely when everyone lies to your face,
it makes you want to build a room in your little cyberspace,
but if hiding isn’t an option, and closing the curtains is not a solution,
then maybe we have to stop paying the contribution,
they say, in order to have sunshine there’s got to be a little rain,
and life isn’t about what you lose, it’s about what you gain,
but sometimes it just all feels dark and empty, cureless, hopeless, endless mess,
and your memories chain you to a chair and don’t make it hurt less,
I’m trying to figure out who my real friends are,
24/7 and not just at the bar,
who will know that i need them, without saying a word,
who I can call in the middle of the night to pull me out of the dirt,
who accept my insanity, even when it’s really bad,
that would be my eyes when I can’t see ahead,
friends who will never leave me , not even after a big fight,
a friend that ‘ll be there for me and hold me through the night,
who helps me walk straight when I’m getting off track,
who supports me and loves me and don’t talk behind my back,
because people can be mean , they’ll talk about you every chance they get,
even people who I haven’t even met,
but I don’t want no fake friends, you don’t have to pretend,
the truth will always speak a little louder in the end,
so here’s for my frenemies, that act as if they care,
I’m fed up with this shit you pull on me, so you better beware,
I’m not being a bitch, I just want some clarity,
in order for people to know, that being my friend,
has nothing to do with charity!
