Never Be Friends

...Only children still believe in friends, and only stupid children at that... We come off the same tree like berries Who would've thought we would grow to become adversaries Out friendship didn't last Maybe because we grew too fast I guess the past is the past Not in your eyes though You still hate me after 3 1/2 half years I could careless I've yet to shed tears See the problem with you is you never feel you are wrong That's why my respect for you is gone Starting lifting weights, traded glasses for contacts One by one you stab your friends in the backs Except for me, you went for my neck Ready for war over a girl, what the heck You took my soon-to-be girl I took yours You tried to put on the locks so I kicked down the doors Worst part is you look at me with a straight face and swear we still cool Smiling faces tell lies and I'm no fool Everybody say you're jealous and you just want to be me You turn your head when I come around like you don't see me Seems to me your hate for me is a snowstorm that will never end It's cool with me, we can never be friends I guess envy is a trait you wear like the hottest trend Friendship is too valuable, your supposed to give, not lend Label me a punk all the time, but call me to assist you in battle You ride phoniness like a horse, here have a saddle You drink jealousy juice, I'll pour you some with a ladle That was real slick, to have my girl kissing you If I was to let anger control me, your family would be "missing" you But she's with me so if you want her come take her back You're a sucker for love Stupid Ask Cupid that You 20 years old dating an eight grader Disgrace to all alpha males You testosterone degrader No morals or principality Courage annihilator You are who you associate with You make me sick I need to be more careful of friends I pick Even when we die your cold feelings toward me won't end It's cool with me because we will never be friends... It's a shame these days that a friendship can't keep its life. I just thought since we grew up together we can make a childhood last to adulthood. I guess you hated living in my shadow, I don't really know or care to be honest. You have fun dating eight graders,and getting your home raided on local news and I'll just go back to making an honest living...Sucka

Dear Richard, as usual this is one excellent write! Thank you for sharing this. People who can not forgive you need to be weary off. Try not tomake a few rotten apples cause you be cynical about life. Life can be beautiful. Even if it means moving away from there, do it. There are still good people in the world. Thanks for your beautiful comments on my poem. Someone had to write something for Black History Month, Jimmy came up with the idea and wrote some poignant details. Peace, Audrey

Richard, thank you for your lovely comment! and to this wonderfully writen poem, I believe that only you are your truest friend, people, cultures, try to hold you back, throw you into the masses, take away your individuallity,we seem to have lost the art of thinking for ourselves, (There, being where ture wisdom lies) to obtain all our desires, love Simone
