friends

I wish... I need... I want...
To have friends beside me...
I have tons, believe me...
But not the ones I wish to have...

I have those that praise me,
Then criticize me in my absence,
They'd shower me with sweet words,
Then stab me in the back with knives.

For fame, for leverage or images,
I do not really know their objectives...
But I guess it's how two-faced people are,
Just like a devil behind an angelic face.

It's funny how they can be worse than my foes.
My foes fight me and trash talk me at my face,
Whilst these so called friends are snakes awaiting,
Attacking when I least expect it, and when my back is turned.

All I wish is just one friend who is true.
One who will fight beside me,
Even against a thousand foes before us.
Just that one friend is all I need.
