Betrayal…
Like murderers, thieves, psychos and others…
People have a way of eyeing you down…
Watching your every step, observing your every move…
Waiting patiently to stab you in the back…
Especially those close to you in life…
When you think there are your friends…
But in reality, are your worst enemies…
They perceive to be kind, whilst they manipulate your mind…
Filling it with lies and deceit, fooling you at every turn…
Knowing that you do not realize this makes it more entertaining to them…
They are cruel and cunning, sneaky in every way…
They will leave you on the ground and walk over you as if you were dead…
Not caring about how you feel, or about your life…
You offer them your trust, and they toss it away like garbage…
You give them your kindness, and they return with hatred…
You try generosity, and they take it for granted…
You contribute words of advice, and they spit it back in your face…
What will you do?? What can you do?? Will you even do anything??
When they betray you, the stab on your back will remain as a memory…
But there is an exception to this, if you are willing to risk it…
For there are some people in the world that can return your trust ten fold…
But they are difficult to find, especially in this day and age, a good friend…
One you can rely on, to share your pain with, and your darkest secrets…
Can you take the risk?? Will you take the risk??
The choice is yours and yours alone to make…
The only thing is, if it’s the right choice, or the wrong choice…
Life…
The first stage…Birth, when you are created…
Life is there for the taking, and you are there to grasp it…
You accept what is truth and what is false…
You are bedridden in the tiny mass called your body…
For a long period of time, you are a toddler…
You can’t speak, or move, but you understand…
And so begins your journey through your so called life…
The second stage…Adolescence, when you progress to your teens…
You are a damp sponge, absorbing anything and everything around you…
You mingle with creatures of your likeness, your peers, your friends…
You seek popularity from all, no matter what the consequence…
Influenced by the reality of the world, you begin to change…
In both mind, body and soul…for the world can change your very being…
On one hand, you become the innocent, the protector, but on the other…
You become the hated, the despised, the criminal, the abomination of society…It all depends on the choice you make…
The third stage…Adulthood, the retribution of your mistakes…
As your life progresses…you tend to realize what went wrong…
How your life changed in an instant…how you’ve done so many things…
Some that are memorable…some that are not…
And yet you have the urge to reconcile with the past and move on…
But the question is…would you feel more assured?
Or twice as disappointed and ashamed as before…
The fourth stage…Death, in many forms can take when the time comes…
There are many ways he can take you to the underworld, for he decides it…
You can grow old, wilting away the years until he comes for you…
Or you end your own misery with suicide and call upon him to take you…
No matter what you do, when the time comes, he lays his icy hands on you.
To carry you to the other side…where you spend an eternity in happiness…
Or to prepare you for your next and unknown journey through life…
Like murderers, thieves, psychos and others…
People have a way of eyeing you down…
Watching your every step, observing your every move…
Waiting patiently to stab you in the back…
Especially those close to you in life…
When you think there are your friends…
