Friend
A friend has your back when no one else does
They stick by your side through thick and thin
Yet friends are not for everyone
Maybe it’s best to stick with friends that have to put up with you
They are not really friends but siblings
They change over time but they never leave your side
They may go away but with cell phones they really are not far
In a society where loyalty is bought
Who can you really trust?
The basic qualities friends have most people in society would not even say they are when describing themselves
Trustworthy, no one trust anyone
Honesty, everyone lies to save themselves
Dependable, people hate commitment
Loyalty, what is that?
A friendship is no longer are bonds that can never be broken
It comes with requirements
A long list of “What can you do for me”
When you no longer serve a purpose
When the value of you has diminished
No longer have anything more to give but a shoulder to cry on
You no longer meet the requirements that come with the title “Friend”
Good people lose “friends” because their price is to high

I feel like some of the reasons why I am against having close friends is because people have hiden motives. When I choose to accept a person I do it because I feel like no one should feel left out. Now days that is not the case for many people.
