Friendship

Friendship is elusive,
nothing is ever conclusive
we cry together, we share a snack
you laugh at my jokes, we go way back

Is all I thought I needed to define friends
but world has not left this untouched
stung with shallowness, mired in superficial
it has sucked the life out of friendship
now it defines nothing crucial

Turns out I was wrong all along
there was no happy nor joy, no bonding nor silly songs
There was no sharing secrets nor revealing crushes
no fighting and fall outs, no phone conversation or heady rushes

The fun stories are stale now, laughs are few
Why oh why, ever up we grew

Not a fairy tale

How life is not a fairly tale

How it will throw stones and bricks at you

And make you feel gross and stale

How it will assure you falsely

And lick up your wounds wisely

But snigger at your every woe

And push your further into the well of sorrow

How life will tell you the world is at your feet

But it’s you who is at it’s feet

At it’s mercy

Making you wonder

If you and your hopes will ever meet

How it will open doors to your darkest fear

Fear, you didn’t know existed

Loneliness will bite

Mind going crazy

You will lose sense of what’s wrong and what isn’t right

At your lowest, life will tell you

Alas I go on and so should you

And so the circus will continue
