It’s Ironic
It’s ironic, how the people who say, “I’m going to be here
for you,”
are also the ones who walk away first
They profess those words with such strength and poise and
always seem well versed…..
But the reality is they have no idea how to be there at all
They only know how to play with your emotions tossing it
back and forth like a ball
When things are good they are able to dramatically say, “I
am here for always”
They walk with you laughing and smiling at all through your
sweet times in your fabulous hallways
But when it’s your time to go through some rough terrible
terrain
Their beautiful verses turn to, “Oh, I can’t take YOUR heartache
and pain…”
It’s Ironic, how those who say, “I am ready to fight with
you,”
Are the very ones who
run when your fights are ensued…
They yell and holler that they stand with you side by side,
strong in the trenches
Yet, when you look around to find them they are on the
sidelines
just watching you from the benches….
It’s Ironic, when you call them out on their words that they
so passionately revealed to you
And they say without reservation, “Oh that? you know I say
so much and I had so many other things to do…”
It’s Ironic, but understandable too…
That words that are spoken by others are not always virtuous
and true
Once you understand the importance of your very own words
The irony of what others say becomes somewhat absurd
Because as you know and work to remain unblemished in your
very own words and views
You realize how it affects the nature of the people in your
life you choose
It’s Ironic…..
