Too Much Pride

When someone doesn't know you like you thought they did
All they do is act out like a kid

Truth starts to decease
Lies spread like disease

No matter how bad it gets botched
All you can do is watch

Be true and try
Don't be blue
Soon or later they were going to turn on you
Real ones never leave your side
They're there for you, not the ride
All the others can kiss your behind
All started with one person having too much pride.

I see you're back to form, great work and I think you're right on point. In friendship truly pride doesn't have much of a place, wonderful write.
