The Bitter Truth

There are people who can dim the light of a fire ,

Who trick you with their convincing attire...

People who will push you down so they can rise,

There are those who deceive you with their lies...

They will tell you, you can't reach the sky,

Tell you, you weren't meant to fly.

They can steal the energy of air

And treat you anything but fair!

People who say they're your friend,

But .. all of it is just pretend.

They'll use you to stay afloat,

But anytime they'll hold a knife to your throat...

But I've learned to pay them no heed,

For in my garden they are only a weed.

I will find a person who has my back,

And who has in abundance everything I lack...
