A lesson I learned in life
is to be wary with the people we trust.

Even our closest friends may stab our backs with a knife
deftly dealing each blow, smiling with each ******.

Be mindful of who you share your problems with.
Some will just ignore you, without any care.
Some will even be have it happened to you.
Some will pretend to listen, lending you their ears.
Some will give you their advice.

But only a few will proffer to you their hands.
Only a few will stay and ask how they can help.

Only a few will be by your side.
Only a few will really be there.
