Friends

Beyond grateful for the one’s I have
                             Knowing a few will be there till the end
                                   I tried to reach out my hand
                         Left alone sifting my feet through the sand
                                      Feel they misunderstand 

                            Was looking for someone to talk to
                                    A lot of you flopped dude
                                  Not sure what stopped you
                                                Time 
                                                Effort
                                               Energy

                              Why can’t you be there for me
                                         As I would you
                              Not understanding this society
                                Really feeling like a minority

                         Thought we were supposed to express
                                Those feelings off our chest
                                    And be there for thee
                          Just really seeing people lost at sea
                               Not living the way life could be
                                                 Unity 
                                                 love
                                             acceptance

                        Maybe reading the wrong vibe from me
                             But too ignorant to ask and see
                                        Maybe we can be
                                               Friends
                                              A family
                                          Ride together
                                         Stride together

                                              Instead
                                Everyone’s out for their own
                              Only to end up cocky and alone
                                               Yeah….
                                        You’re real grown

                          So excuse me while remove your throne
                        Because I’m building a kingdom of my own
                                         To have my own
                                               Friends
                                              A family
                                     To make them home
