FRI- ENEMIES


1. They crawl in like friends disguised,

With fake gestures they entice,

Their  facial facade is hidden,

And motives hidden under eyes sadden,

They feign happiness for your success,

But inwardly they are in turbulent mess,

They act to be there for you,

But can't wait to betray you as they often do.

 

2. I call them fri- enemies,

Like the devil's armies,

They wait for your downfall,

And when you fall they walk tall,

'Cos they are on the look out for your fall,

Forget how often they call,

You don't wanna see their joy when you fail,

And their disappointement when you blaze the trail.

 

3.Why feel pain when others gain?

Why tarnish others image with words like cain,

Why the torment in your soul when people are happy?

And you go on crazy or snappy,

Relax,  annihilate self strife,

It is not all about sword and knife,

You dont have to loathe others happiness,

Neither do you have to dwell in self righteousness,

Press the " be happy for others" botton,

And look striaght on.
