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.
