I’ve learnt something that I should of learnt a long time ago.

A friend is a friend only if there is no consequence.
They support you, but through their facade, they hope your triumphs won’t be more successful then theirs
You think you can trust them, but in the end you hope you won’t be betrayed
Through years of interaction you believe you understand them, then they tell you that you know nothing at all
You stand there, stunned, angry and regretful that you were so foolish,
not realizing the signs were there.
Your blind faith in comadarie yet again tricks you
and you realize how truly difficult to find someone you can trust.

Another example:
You see potential
You grow within their social network
meeting new people and their personalities
Many of their personalites disgust you
you start to wonder
what are their positive traits are experiences leading them to develop such an intimate relationship
then there is the gossip between themselves
and you are in contact with the lies, the spite
then you start to feel doubt
feeling a sense of foreboding that you have to start from scratch
again
Your defenses build up
your sight becomes hazy
instincts begin to lead
and hopefully
it steers you straight
but more often then not
you’re likely to crash
or at least be forced to stop
