Friendship, A Necessary Pain
Friendship is a necessary pain, a necessary torture,
it’s what Humans need to experience in order to grow stronger,
wiser,
less desperate,
having our hopes and wishes cherished like a new born baby
then murdered, one stab to the heart, it’s the start
of a new transformation in being Human,
learning that not every living person gives a shit
but will suck up every one of your last pennies,
until you can’t even afford food to live
these once called “friends” will humiliate you,
sit you down on your knees to worship foreign gods
they will strip you of your dignity,
then, when the fad is over
when it’s not “cool” anymore,
they will come knocking at around midnight
just about sober,
holding a symbol of peace
be it a flower, or a friendship bracelet
and, foolishly, you will take it,
believing that they have learnt
believing that they have moved on,
but this is the nature of being Human
not knowing where our heart should belong.
