The Snake

I have always found friendship to be a balance.

You have to give and take, that’s what keeps the whole thing working.

But you took what I offered

And then robbed what I had stowed away for a rainy day;

And ultimately stole the last of my caring heart from me

Until I had nothing left to offer but tears…

And you, you even took those.

And yet,

You spat them back in my face with poisonous,

Hurtful,

Jealous feelings

Because these were the only things that made you feel powerful.

I hope you have learned that being a good person

Doesn’t come from stealing another person’s goodness;

The truth is,

You have to earn that honor all on your own.

For more.
