A Friend Is

"A friend indeed is"…what?
Sorry I can’t memorize it right
Simply because friends
Nowadays are out of sight!
But I still remember the other one
"A friend is someone you can count on”
Yet, in real life
You will always find yourself alone 
And no one is there to rely on.
Moreover there is an expression that goes
"True friends stab you in the front”
Oh yeah, without even realizing 
the harm they have done!
But the words I like most
"If you make friends with yourself
you’will never be alone” 
And that’s exactly what you should know.
Friendship had vanished long time ago.
