Fake Friends

When you walk into school, you knock everyone over with your powerful words.
Those words might be a joke to you,
But they appear to be hurtful and true to us.
Those words you find funny
You stab all your ‘friends’ in the back and think it’s ok
But NO
You take one person,
Be their best friend,
Tell them all your secrets,
Bring them in close,
Then AGAIN,
You just stab them in the back.
Then you act so natural about it.
You really don't care how much you just hurt that person.
Then
You
Wait.
You find your next victim.
Then again, you take them and repeat yourself.
