Self preservation

Self preservation

Friendship's just a fucking joke!
A total waste of time!
Don't ever give your heart away
or kid yourself it's fine.
It chips away your self defense,
erodes you deep inside,
and makes you open up to tell
the secrets you should hide.
Don't ever show your weakness
or allow yourself to feel.
Just build your wall up higher still,
surround your heart with steel.
Self protect or risk the hurt?
It's up to you to choose.......
but never take the second one,
you're guaranteed to lose!
It's best to trust in only you.
Don't soften up or bend,
because when it comes down to it
No-one NEEDS a friend.

Fortunately this is an old one lol. I'm trying to put all my poetry together on here and in written form so I don't mislay any. I seriously do make goldfish seem like photogenic memory geniuses in comparison to my retentive skills!xo

Naming and shaming is usually enough to send any troll scuttling back under the bridge........ Rise above it my friend for it is borne of jealousy and lack of understanding.......(probably) Lol.xo

Thanks for your great feedback Tina. I put total trust in someone for the first time in years and was burned badly lol. Barriers back up but yes, true friends are a different thing altogether but very few in number.xo
