Fake Friends

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

I wish people were honest with me. If you don’t like me or have a problem with me just say it. Cause this, acting like I am like a sister to you and then turning on me is such a waste of time. I would rather spend my free time with those I care about and those who actually care about it.

Fake Friends

In shallow laughter’s fleeting sway,
I lost precious moments, secrets astray.
Surrounded by smiles, a false display,
I thought I’d found friendship, come what may.

Time’s relentless river, swift and wide,
Washed away those bonds, a fading tide.
Empty promises echoed, a hollow guide,
Revealing the truth, I could no longer hide.

With eyes now open, illusions depart,
I see the true gems, a change of heart.
My family, my friends, a love that won’t start,
Had waited for me, from the very start.

Regret’s sharp sting, a lesson I’ve learned,
True love’s bond, where loyalty is earned.
No more wasted moments, a new page turned,
My heart seeks connection, a lesson discerned.

For my family, by blood or by choice,
Deserve every beat, every word, every voice.
In their warmth and embrace, I rejoice,
A love that knows no bounds, I’ll always voice.

In this sacred space, where love’s light gleams,
I’ll savor each moment, like sweet summer dreams.
Forever grateful, for love’s gentle beams,
A love that never wavered, so it seems.

Peace! Lesson Learned!

No drama’s sting, a heart at peace.
Toxic ties, a thing of the past,
Lessons learned, freedom to last.

Their whispers dark, their barbs so keen,
Dimmed your light, a shadowed scene.
But courage rose, a strength within,
You chose yourself, let healing begin.

Two wasted years, a memory faint,
Replaced by joy, a vibrant paint.
New connections, genuine and bright,
Filling your days with warmth and light.

This milestone marks a victory won,
A celebration, a brand new sun.
Hold your head high, let laughter flow,
The best is yet to come, you know.

So raise a glass, a toast to you,
For strength and growth, a brand new view.
May kindness bloom, and friendships true,
Surround your life, forever new.

Not as the Best, Just a Friend

Not as the Best, Just a Friend

A mirrored image, warped and wrong,
Reflected back, where I belonged.
Your best friend’s face, a silly grin,
But in the glass, it’s only been,

A friend, one more within the fold,
A heart that yearned for something bold.
We shared secrets, whispers light,
But in your world, I wasn’t quite,

The chosen one, the closest soul,
Just laughter’s echo, taking hold.
The sting of truth, a whispered sigh,
Friendship’s garden, vast and high.

Though blooms may differ, bathed in sun,
A single rose, or one by one,
A field of faces, bright and kind,
In yours, a place I’ll surely find.

Not as the best, just a friend
Your best friend’s face, a silly grin.

Knowing Who to Trust

The world is full of wolves in sheep’s clothing,
They’ll smile to your face and stab you in the back.
They’ll tell you they care, but they’ll only use you,
So be careful who you trust, and who you crack.

Some people will say they’re your friends,
But they’ll only be there when it’s convenient.
They’ll disappear when you need them most,
So don’t be surprised when they’re nowhere to be found.

Others will say they love you,
But their actions will speak louder than their words.
They’ll make you feel like you’re not good enough,
And they’ll never be there for you when you need them.

So learn to trust your gut,
And don’t be afraid to walk away from people who don’t treat you well.
You deserve to be treated with respect,
And you deserve to be surrounded by people who love and care about you.

Don’t waste your time on people who don’t deserve it,
There are plenty of good people in the world,
So go out and find them.

You’ll be glad you did.

Goodbye and Good Riddance

I reached out to you,
But you threw it away.
I thought we were friends,
But now I see you’re just a stray.

I was always nice to you,
But you never appreciated it.
You took advantage of my kindness,
And now you’re gone without a bit of guilt.

I’m not sure what I did to deserve this,
But I’m not going to let it get to me.
I’m better off without you,
And I’ll find someone who actually cares.

So goodbye, and good riddance.
I hope you find what you’re looking for,
Because it’s not me.

Secrets

unrecognizable friends gossiping together on street

They fester and sore until they burst.
They warp your mind and crush your heart.
They say they are your friend and twist your words.

All the while waiting to strike.
They are quiet, and plant seeds in others. 
They lay in wait in their filth.

The arrows pierce, and before you know it you are down.
The pain radiates through your being. 
These secrets they keep
