blessed with friends that extend
their hands for the simple reason
that they don't pretend.
they'll lend, bend, even comprehend
when others claim they're there 'til
the end, but
are truly only around to gossip about
your repented sins.
friends overstand the necessity of prosperity
& serenity.
fakers are the ones that can't wait to make fun,
can't wait until you fall;
can't wait until your caught with the gun;
can't wait until the feds kick in the door,
while your in your draws;
real ones are there to except that collect corrections call,
to write you back when your behind bars, to send care
packages, ain't scared when the questions come their way.
won't crack or sway, no matter what the alphabet boys say;
real friends listen when needed
they give advise when others are too conceited
they appreciate your qualities and your inadequacies
catastrophes and atrocities, better believe they
are there for you to cry on their sleeve,
ready with abilities you couldn't conceive
and when you least expect it....
they are around to turn your frown upside down,
they might play and clown, but when it comes
down to the come down they are equipped with
the 4lb.
