What Is A Friend?

What Is A Friend?

A Poem by TJB

What is a friend?
A friend is a friend
That's what a friend would say
But when push comes to shove will that friendship stay
If you're gone for a year and don't catch up too much,
Will they act out of character let emotions run amock
Will they blow off hanging out just to show you what's up
You don't call them best friend so they give way fewer f***s
Try to act like a saint when you're s**t out of luck
Fake being friends with hopes you want to date
Give honest truths so they s**t talk away
Would a friend forgive all
Would a friend fight the past
Take a dose of the truth
Well let's all do the math
When the hubris is primed 
And the anger is savored
When you man up and forgive
Will they return the favor
A friend is a friend
What is a friend?
