There are those we meet
Who befriend us, our trust
Some join us in fellowship
Others merely following observers
In our chapters- treks our life journey
Some may become more like family
No matter where we are in our life
They will come, most assuredly
They can appear and go unnoticed
Some will stand out by reason
Some will aid to our comfort
Some will aid in our understanding
Some will aid us, unwittingly
Until long after they’ve left
Some leave an indelible marks
Some will leave unrelenting scars
In our every thought, like traps
All this and choices, shape us
Forming our bonds or broken binds
Some of us become stronger, endure
Some of us will become wiser
Still some of us retreat and hide
Recognizing signs of a storm to come
Mitigating chances of damage responsibly
Those who choose to be invective
beyond any playful joking- project
They’re also those who are most unhappy
They want to share in our joys- sorta
Become like we are with others
They want to become permanent
In all that we do, we share willingly
But, they seem to want to sabotage us
So as to sabotage that connection
That tether of unadulterated trust
We so freely gift, offer from our heart
From their passive aggressive behaviors
That first bite from a recoil of vile reaction
Starting from their biased accusations
Cloaked in their defensive opinion
Which they further qualify by evidence
Of your personal interactions with others
Pointing out your flaws, pale judgments
They tend to want to slowly strip you
From yourself, remold your chosen values
Until we’ve mirrored theirs, perfectly
Know now, they will surely come
Count carefully the friends you love~
Entitlement’ in the name of “friendship”
Oh! what a most sewn deceitful weave
Its never about being friends, not really
Its about their inner self, unresolved pain
Dripping in bloodied specious rhetoric
Void of discretion, or friendly decorum
They are lead by a dark agenda, unknown
Which is why they’ll victimize…anyone
