Shirin Neshat Poet Rhyme

True Friendship

Going back in the time,

Looking at the past,

Seeing a vision in my mind,

Hoping that of what I visioned it was the last,

Thinking about my friends along,

Remembering how it went wrong.

Thinking about my true friends that were strong,

Those who are always their for me no matter what.

Hating the fact those who stabbed me in the back,

And pretending nothing went wrong,

You think I'm blind?

Not to use my mind?

Well you thought wrong!

Hearing the voices going throw my ears,

Thinking about the past trying not to tears,

Knowing that you didn't wanted to know what are true friends are like.

All you did was taking advantage of what I did for you every time.

Stabbing me in the back when I needed you the most.

True friends are always there for each other 

Side by side, they never hide

I don't call this a true friendship,

This is a friendship that will NEVER last.
