It's Ironic

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…..
