Friendship of convenience

By Nafumjromwami

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You are friends because of me Because I am your common enemy Because you can talk about me Because you can gossip about me Because you can plot evil against me I am your story I make you happy Your focus is me Your attention is me I keep you together You project your frustrations on me You project your hatred on me You sink your problems in me You conceal your wickedness You project it on me You hate facing the truth All you can do is blame me You hide your true selves in me You glorify yourselves You make yourselves righteous If I am your source of happiness If I keep your together If you can’t face reality without me Think about it For I am mortalI dislike friendships of convinience. People should face life on their own and not blame others for their shortcomings. Written December 9th, 2001 © on Dec 09 2001 10:20 AM PST   0 • 10
