Beware

When your friends lose their mind,
And go against every sound principle;
When they upset you on purpose,
Setting you up to lose your own,
What do you do?

When they stop thinking and instead, 
They ride their wildest feelings;
When they take advantage of what you are and have;
When they treat you like a fool,
Just to set you up so you can lose your mind too,
How do you react?

Beware of people who’ve lost their mind,
If you are not prudent, you will lose your own.
