What's a best friend? I hope one day I know the meaning of what a “best friend” is suppose to be. 
One who won’t constantly scrutinize me.
 One who will laugh with me and not at me.
 One who will listen instead of interrupt. 
***
 Who will encourage me to do my best, because they have faith in what I can do. 
 And it’s a shame that I thought it’d be you. 
You’re not right in your heart, and for that we should be apart. 
 Until you stop putting others down and turn your life around, I will be absent. 
I could never speak to you and have your full understanding. 
 You have your herd of sheep, but I chose to stand up and create my own life to lead.
 I’ve encouraged you before, but instead you choose to stay tied down to your bedroom floor. 
It hurts to say “I love you” 
because now I will be without you, 
 But it’s better to avoid making more of a mess and time to lay this “friendship” to rest. 
 I wish you nothing but the best.
