Life started to accept friends.
Gatherings were always during weekends;
Fun and worldly behavior appends.
Friends sounded and looked like family.
Time I spent very lavishly;
With new friends, connections grew rapidly.
I believed in their friendship, totally.
Words out of flesh were mere flattery.
I expressed my love within my capacity.
Then came a storm from someone else’s fault—
To cover it up, another issue was brought.
Relationships gave me no rest.
The role of manipulation was at its best;
One trusted soul tried to keep me oppressed.
The true colors of individuals left me surprised;
Sharp words came, in love’s form disguised.
Truth was kept captive;
Two-faced people—I called them deceptive.
The irony is, this drama was called possessive;
Their actions to damage friendships were aggressive.
I cried and tried to fix the damage;
People I found so hard to manage.
In them, I found so much grudge;
Heartache and rejection came as a package.
All of this gave me a message:
That friendship is a privilege.
Trust does not need explanation.
Love does not cause division.
So I made a decision—
To Christ, I made a petition.
I brought the situation into His submission.
Past trauma pushed me to pursue peace;
I wished and prayed for all this to cease.
So I took a pause
and stayed away from internal wars;
I comforted myself: this too shall pass.
My life took a turn to revisit my purpose.
I decided to stay away from the circus.
I turned my pain into worship.
I believe all of this will be taken in God’s courtship.
My desire increases for heaven’s citizenship.
I cannot avoid gossip,
But at least I will be careful in choosing friendship.
