What Is a Friend
What is a friend you may ask?
A friend is a person who cares about you
A friend is not one who will lie to and use you
A friend is there for the good times and for the rough times too
A friend doesn’t tell you lies and makes you believe them
A friend doesn’t lead you on just to get what they want
A friend listens to what you have to say and share
A friend is not one to manipulate to suit their own needs
A friend is one you can count on and who can count on you
So what is a friend, you may ask?
I really thought I knew and believe the above to be true
I believed all the lies and was manipulated
This person I thought to be my friend wasn’t really in the end
I shared my heart, feelings and thoughts with this person
This person told me they would never lie to me and yet that was a lie
I was used just to get what was wanted then thrown away like yesterday’s trash
A friendship was all I wanted and thought I had
A true friend is what I thought I had and that it would last
Boy was I ever wrong and such a fool
From the very start to the very end, we were really never friends
So what is a friend you may ask?
I am not the right person to be asking – I got it all wrong myself
Believed lies and was played for a fool
So if you ever find out what is a friend, and then please tell me
Tell me because I really want to know what a friend is
