Social Network (3/6/12)

The lives of people and the bonds between
The threads of community’s ties
The trust and promises binding one another
The severance of betrayal and lies

The whimsical build and the pitying destruction
Which is worse in our eyes in the end?
The rival and antagonist that eggs us on?
The compliant and uninspiring friend?

Perhaps some things we can do without
Perhaps others benefit in ways unknown
Perhaps the cowardice of others can be the kindest gesture
Remember that naught’s set in stone

Remember that promises cannot last forever
Irony’s likely to turn against you in the end
The abandoned abandons those who would stand by their side
The lonely may reject a friend.

Yet despite all the things that may go awry
The fact is that life goes on
With ever nightfall, every twilight found in life
There comes another rising dawn

So forge ahead on your path, by your own compass you’ll see
A direction to take, a way you can be
Walking along as yourself, by your own energy
Strive along your life’s road, with the confidence that “I’m me”
