What is a friend

That says one thing and does another

Who apologizes with sincerity

For something they don't remember

 

What is a lover

That takes your heart and doesn't love back

Who says all the things you want to hear

Just to leave

Without a single tear

 

What is a father

That takes your achievements and crushes them up

Saying that you must do better

There is no good enough

 

What is a mother

That raises you to believe hopes and dreams

To find that

Life was not at all that she made it seem

 

What is a stranger

That is as new as day

In hopes that

Something will change

 

But what is reality

A blunt truth that must be understood

Who everyone ends up

Giving up to
