Friends
Friends are important
Maybe that is why it hurts
So much more when they
Seemingly betray you
You laugh, joke
Cry with them
You try to fit in
And still be true
To yourself
They are the golden standard
You want to be them
There comes a time
When you must choose
Between being yourself
And someone
You are not
It is a choice no one should have to make
But it is made anyway
By billions of beings
Every day
When you choose to imitate
You end up playing pretend
For the rest of your life
Yet you fit in
It is when you
Choose to be yourself
That you face
Your hardest challenge
Yet then you make
True friends
Explain.
