Your friends always say they're there for you,
But when it matters
Where are those same people?
Who's there to protects you from the taunts?
Who's there to protects you from the names?
Who's there to scare away the monster that stares at you with eyes identical to its?
Because I know damn well it's not those same people that screamed those same words of encouragement,
Who is there to protect you?
Is it the thick skin you should have already grown?
Is it the oh so helpful adults?
The exact same adults that smile in your face,
Then sign the papers to ship you off to the asylum?
Is it the friends that swore they would never leave you?
I used to think no one was there to help,
Not in moments like this,
Not in moments not like,
And not in the moments in between,
But, now I know, there's always someone,
Maybe they're not the prettiest,
Maybe they're a little too blunt
But they're there for you when it matters,
Even when you push them away,
So, shouldn't that make them beautiful?

You really find your true friends when shit hits the fan.
