Friends

Friends are overrated, overhyped

Always politically right

Curious and inquisitive

'Just for your good you know'

And then they blab it all as a joke

Sometimes they are better off as strangers

Why deal with pain that comes with all sorts of connections

Never a moment of rest

It is a tumultuous relationship I must say

It is just give and take

Give me your trust and word

So that I can take it and hurt you in return

Backstabbing and honesty are just mere words

To be broken at one's convenience

Nowadays relations are just a hype

To be scoffed at, to be never taken in earnest

They are made just to build your network

For one's benefit

Gone are the days when someone used to be friends for mere company

Making friends is now the ultimate business

Where the crowds you surround yourself by

Flaunts your status and power in society

But at home, in darkness, you scoff at your own stupidity

They wish they were never a part of this society

But unfortunately that's the norm and being an exception is just being gutsy

Being a hero never did the hero any good

So like a coward we masquerade as friends

In this guise we have truly lost our own self and worth

And like a deranged ship we search for a true companion

Who used to be once known as friends
