Let Down

Expectations in others to be true and loyal only cause frustration
assume you’re alone in any situation you're faced in to go unfazed in happenings cus let down by false faith of reliance supplies the head with whys deception and lies deflating flat friendships breaking ties

No one in life is loyal and true 
no one but you 
it doesn’t mean they are against 
they have their own stuff to do
doesn’t mean they wish you worst
it's that as it does with you they come first
they may even chuckle toward your situation 
but it’s the situation they chuckle at not you 
something complicated or out of the blue
acknowledged in their laugh too 
is the knowing or not knowing what to do
they may offer advice or stand equally confused 

Blessings are found in generosity 
the kindness to have offered
with time free to give
acceptance or turn down not the gift
as the present is them taking note
having awareness for you most don't
they care to help and co-operate 
ease frustration or complications
help with a show of mutual appreciation 

expectations don't exist in friendships
exception being what the bro code states
compassion curtesy comedy and co-operation 
not asked for but shown make a good mate
