Friend



I’ll  tell  you straight and won’t pretend,
Whether you are made of stone or sand,

Under pressure, if you break or bend,
Don’t even think that I’ll lend a hand,

Just telling the truth, not really mean to offend,
Certain   character  flaws,   no   one   can   mend,

Unfortunately even if I want, can’t help you to ascend, 
When  things  are beyond your ability to comprehend,

When   you  are  ready  to  swim  against  the  trend,
Then  I’ll  be there  and  consider me as your friend. 



Sometimes even if you like to help an individual, you find yourself pretty helpless.  Many things in life are about ‘self-realization’ and it just happens that one becomes aware.  Teaching, motivation, prep-talk and other BS is just for outer fake pompousness.  Such things may help live the hapless in parallel ‘fake reality’ ( what an oxymoron ! ) but internally one is really hollow.  If a person shows the true grit and strength of character then only I would like to guide him/her to the right path ( and that is also only after earnest request 😉 ).
