A Friend

Life in the Badlands 
Were the free roaming bandits lie 
Only on this desolate land 
Can true friends be made
Not people that
Call you friend
Yet runs to save themselves
Leaving your life as pay
Those friends you find at every turn 
But here in the badlands 
Are were true friends lie
Friends that share your tears
And laugh when you laugh
There are always friends 
That will leave you alone in the dark
And friends that 
Will hold your hand 
Through the perils you face 
Even though 
They need not place 
There life in danger
Life in the Badlands
A friend you have 
But a friend that bleeds for you 
Is better
Life in the Badlands  
Were free roaming friends lie
