Though I'm realizing my mistakes
I've never liked anyone fake
At least that's what i always thought
All this time i've been distraught

In search of amends
Realizing i don't know my own friends
Not who i thought, as i was deceived
Appears i've been blinded by weed
This lifestyle isn't what i need

Friends cause we get messed up
Not anymore, i've had enough
Time to see who my real friends are
If none i'll stand alone, as a shinning star

A journey i'm about to embrace
No longer will I live in disgrace
I know i will walk alone
Though I need to do this on my own

These steps i take prepare for friends to leave
It's the only way i'll maintain composure at ease
Giving up all i've ever known
Few friends will be there with love shown

Time has come for me to do this
To succeed is my only wish
As i let go, i recollect on the good times
But know that now this life is finally mine

How can you people who have replied automatically think that this person is the person the author is talking about? COME ON PEOPLE, it could be a real or fake person, a friend, or someone she saw on jenny jones or jerry springer. You have no right automatically pressume that this person is the culprite and needs the help. Some people just write how they see society, thats how they get their stories and poetry. Think outside the square you live in.

Btw i really liked this poem, it is awesome. I congratulate you on ur outstanding work.

hey you--if they don't understand? They never were your friends.

Much luck to you--with my admiration for your wisdom and strength.

Be true to YOU.

I would like to thank all of u for ur responses, i'm fairly new to this poetry thing, i started less than a month ago, though i am currently on my 40th poem, i guess i got lots to write about, lots on my mind. And for tiger, i would like to say that this poem is about me, not about how i see anything or nothing like that, this is what's goin on with me right now.
