Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

One grows fond of all the involvement one has with society

To what end do we extend those words of forgiveness said so easily

You spend all those days and weekends

With those they say they are your friends

Those that say they will watch your back to the end

Then that day comes, and they pretend

They don’t know you; … those friends

Are not no more, they offend

 They will hurt you and stir your anger

They say absence makes the heart grow founder

Is not always the answer

People inspire you, or they drain you and make you bitter

Reality is… we were friends for never

I can’t take this no more, so I’ll kiss them good-bye forever

They were not worth my time and worry so I’ll arrange to stay away

Stay away

        Stay away

                Forever

I don’t need you as friends if you can’t take me as I am and

Have my back at the end
