Friend by Betelhem Demissie

Congratulations my friend, you are finally in.
In with people you hate but crave to be like them within.
I see you change like a leaf in a tree.
one moment there and gone slowly.
They hate what you do, and they despise what you say.
Why did you leave when I was here? You should have stayed.
Saying things you don’t mean when you know they are false.
You changed yourself for the people you hate the most.
They tell you what to say and do.
Yet you are blind because you think they can’t control you.
They make you hate yourself deep within.
Make you wish you could change your own skin.
They show you things they know you will never become.
Make you hate your smile and make you their victim.

The friend I once had, is someone I don’t know.
Because she left me, for those she hates the most.
