You build me up you tear me down
I wonder why I keep you around
Loneliness without end my friend
Friends come and go like a parade
A mix of personalities some throw shade
Offering advice on what they see and who you should be from their point of view
Never truly seeing the real you
Sometimes the motives we see should be a clue
Obstacles rise and fall what seems like the great divide
The roaring ocean and the crashing tide
Life has a pace and flow at times we can’t see the way to go
Sometimes a friend sticks closer than a brother
At times the road leads you to find another
We reach a crossroads will you stay till the end
In the complexities of life will I be able to call you friend
