Goodbye 'Friend'
When am all alone
Feeling so lost
People I called friends
Too late to realise they weren't
People I could trust and confide,
People I could talk to,
And with then, my mind share,
So long has it been,
To far has it come,
Their ways to make mine,
And mine not theirs,
An incarnation of a different person...
But, I am me,
Tall and proud,
With no one to drag around,
Yes, mistakes are inevitable,
But when one is swollen with pride,
Too much that they don't realise it's a nuisance,
Does this whole thing become so distant,
And the once cordial relationship crumbles.
My friends accept me for who I am,
What I am,
And what I stand for,
And not anytime soon am I about to change.
Sorry for the broken link,
You ain't got nothing on me,
And I gotta go my own way.
