Bad Company

Bad Company

Blood shot 
EYES
Lack of 
SLEEP
Doing drugs
PARTYING 
Three day 
BENDER
With some 
FRIENDS 
But do 
FRIENDS 
let other 
FRIENDS 
Look like 
THIS 
You ask 
YOURSELF
As you 
LOOK 
In the 
MIRROR 
Picking your 
FACE
Covered in
SCABS 
You are 
UGLY 
Just like 
THEM 
A voice
YELLS 
Let’s go 
DUDE 
We got 
MORE 
Being sober 
SUCKS 
When your 
THOUGHTS 
Suggest getting 
HELP 
Numb the 
PAIN 
With your 
FRIENDS 
Together is 
BETTER
Than by 
YOURSELF 
Together you 
REMAIN 
Just like 
THEM 
A bad 
FRIEND 
A good 
FRIEND 
It just 
DEPENDS 
Who you 
ASK ? 
Misery loves 
COMPANY

This is so true....misery loves company. When we are troubled it's easier to relate to others who are troubled and we'll...this leads to trouble!! All screaming from the bottom of the pit together, nobody able to grab the rope and help themselves let alone anybody else...good write x

A good and true friend will be there for you in the bad times but in a way that supports you. The "friends" described here are typical of the people many would class as a friend but in reality they are nothing more than parasites (harsh I know but true). "You always get more of what you focus on" this is a saying I have found to be true...and it works both ways. Another great write from you x

Yes in this write I use friend loosely but people who fall victim to this vicious pattern normally consider these bad influences friends because it’s all they have .

Hi Rob, I kind of agree with this poem but it does depend on individual circumstances and from which perspective you look at it. Without a doubt though, some so called friends can be toxic. I myself am very fortunate to have a tight circle of really good friends. Some of the best nights of my life have been spent with them. That's just my perspective though. I'm more of a burn out rather than fade away kind of person...probably a bad influence and bad company lol.

Syd I’m glad you mentioned this so I could explain more , in the write the guy wants help or hears calls for it but feels like he has nobody to support him getting that help .  I have a very small circle of friends as well ( not by accident ) but I think you would agree your friends would notice if you needed help or desired it because they care and they would support that more than continuing to helping you numb yourself .This guy doesn’t have a tight close circle in this write so I totally get what you’re saying . I hope that explained it a little better .thank you for the comments . ~Rob
