Judging Me Without My Influence

I was friends with a selfish liar 
pathological habit of desire 
lying when there was no reason 
low on friends he chose treason 

A football team our social scene 
players, friends & every family 
including people who act mean 
his brother & another nasty 

believing each lie he spoke 
as each lie made me look bad 
makes them feel a bigger bloke 
happiest seeing others sad 

known all 3 since we were kids 
as adults they grew insecure 
imagination feeds their ego 
making up rules keeping score 

1 used banter, very feeble 
jokes of prepubescent people 
blatant blunt very simple 
insults there is no need for 

& if you didn’t laugh away 
he’d say you don’t understand 
all to win this game he’d play 
as it’s humour I can’t stand 

the brother grew hateful & bitter 
self obsessed & paranoid 
short unnoticed & feeling lesser 
the unpleasant sort most avoid 

over emotional problem starter 
outbursts of anger & lost control 
but when called out a tearful figure 
unaccountable victims can’t be told 

& then there was the blagger lying 
always too clever to be wrong 
making excuses dodging fire 
guess who he’d place the blame on 

so I abandoned all in sight 
the football team & social life 
that’s when rumours all took flight 
I’d lost my mind & wasn’t right 

Gone to get my head back straight 
so nobody tried to contact me 
I’d come back once I feel great 
for the attention apparently 

Six months go by, I’ve moved on 
when contacted by the group 
who tell me I have got it wrong 
said my ex mates out the loop 

people think they know my ex mates 
& I don’t now my head’s confused 
the first time ever I say straight 
to be universally refused 

not one person believed my words 
they seem to think I don’t do truth 
opinions formed from what’s been heard 
convinced they know what has occurred 

So though this is my situation 
I’m irrelevant to what people think 
the ignorance unbearable 
lost my mind to drugs & drink 

insulting assumptions I receive 
when I speak I’m not believed 
thinking I’m on temporary leave 
to comeback for my limelight feed 

& they really think I am confused 
& the one who misses humour 
they’re so rude & have no clue 
judging me on a rumour 

so I tell them I’ve had enough 
they never asked me where I was 
& now I talk they think I bluff 
so I speak directly using curse 

you judge me with me unimportant 
so I don’t think that you’re important 
you clearly don’t know me okay 
watch the talker not what they say
