True Colours

Bad situations reveal colours of truth,
a chance to see how friends and relations view you.

Judgement day 
shall we say,
a time to decide, 
who to kick out
or keep by your side.

Always remember who turned away or deserted you,
make them a memory 
don't make them an enemy,
pretending and false 
you don't know them at all,
disguising their faults 
their views and their thoughts,
using fake personalities 
in untrue realities
asking for favours reducing your salary.

But in a real moment of need, 
when you beg cry and you plead,
how they respond will test your belief.

Cus lit up with light
so strong and so bright,
both who are sighted 
and unsighted alike can see,
if you're really seen as an important priority,
do they show you love
or a real lack of loyalty?

A blessing for you
as you discover who's true, 
some fools you stood around
are nowhere to be found,
it's time to start new
and walk away tall,
remember they're nothing,
they're nothing at all.

Thanks Lyric Man, sorry for the late reply, I dont get notifications, I'm only here now because, this is actually the first poem I ever wrote, one year ago today. I originally put " those who are unsighted and eye sighted alike can see", it's been a learning curve lmao
