The one you thought was a friend not your friend it would seem <br />For your friend never would erode your self esteem <br />Or opposite others see fit to put you down <br />If you call this one your friend you don't have friends in town <br />A friend such as this in your life you don't need <br />Since in life it is hard enough for to succeed <br />Without your so called friend with words belittling you <br />To the honour of friendship this person is not true <br />Negative people for to put down others use words as their fuel <br />And some people with their words can be very cruel <br />Your friends don't reflect on you in a negative way <br />And your friend not a friend that does seem sad to say <br />And the betrayal of one you considered a friend can seem hard to forgive <br />But we learn from life for as long as we live<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-you-thought-was-a-friend/
