Choose Wisely Grasshopper......... your friends?

We all want to be liked and loved.

Wanting to have good friends

and people, in general, like us.

When young we try too hard at

times to please others.

Thinking it will make them

like us more.

When in actual fact.

All we are doing is being

fake and untrue to ourselves.

And actually not liking

the ones we are friends with

but just put up with them

for the sake of having a mate.

The older you get you

learn to be more choose

with who you decide to be

friends with.

And instead of like when we

are younger.

Rushing in head first.

We take our time.

And actually get to know

people better.

And then decided

if we want them

as a really good friend

or just an

acquaintance.

Or in some cases even no.

Different levels of friendship.

You can have.

Some are just casual pals.

Others you trust more.

And the one you rush to in

a crisis.

Let alone would trust

them with your life.

Point is  BE YOURSELF

Forget about being fake.

As well as trying to impress

and all that bullshit

when younger.

And save all the hassle.

Choose who you really

want to hang out with

wisely and make good

friends ones you can trust

and be yourself with.

Until then

all you will do.

Is get

into trouble.

As your life

heads downhill faster

then a speeding train.

All because

you choose the

wrong mates.

As not everyone is

your friend.

Some lie, cheat and steal

your boyfriend or even worse.

Such a lovely poem with truths about our nature as people. We tend to wear masks throughout our entire lives but slowly, with age, they crack and crumble. The cracks give glimpses to those who want to see deeper and these people remain your friends for life. Thank you for this beautiful writing.
