Real friends

Real friends 

They only just said hi to me,
Acting friends,
Cos' of a coincidental meet.
If I hadn’t seen them at all that day,
That month,
That week,
That year.
I’d not hear a single ‘tweet’.
No text or call,
Just to say hi,
Are they really your friends?
‘’Oh we all must up some time.
Here’s my number’’,
Is it fake?
 and your friendship a lie?
As you won’t hear from them,
 in another 20 years gone by.
Has it really been that long since,
High school I did fly,
Flunking most of my exams,
As at lunchtime,
We'd be let home for lunch,
Eat and get high.
That’s how I went from a grades to c,
Within only 6 months of my time.
I should’ve done things different,
I’d sue my physics teacher,
As he started,
Not finished a fight.
But me.
Neither said a thing though,
AS neither wanted plight.
See,
I wasn’t some stoner,
Of a school ground guy,
Or Thinking I’m the hard kinda,
Drug dealing type.
Shit just used to come at me,
King fu style.
So I just put things right,
Only ever defending myself,
When it came to a fight.
Or Sticking up for the bullied,
Making sure they were alright.
Covering their backs,
When they were against the wall,
Fighting not just for 1,
Or 2,
But for them all.

Now I’m a 35 year old man,
Since 15,
My bodies been in,
Well,
a kind of painful jam.
Not knowing for 4 long years,
What demons I had locked inside.
They should have devoured my soul,
Within 8 weeks,
But I’m still here now,
With one hell of a story to be told. 
One for the campfires,
When my poetry,
Is over a hundred years old.
There’s enough of me on the internet,
Type James Bevan cosmofunnel,
And see my pasts story,
And what my life does behold.
Watch out for this next chapter in my life,
And see how it unfolds.
I’ve so much stacked against me,
But I still won’t break or be broken,
I’ll never fold.
I’m going to be here for my grandkids,
 and their little ones too,
Not to mention myself and my family,
Through the good and the hard times,
I’ll see us all through.
There’s no way I wouldn’t,
As i hold love,
for every single,
one of you!
