All my friends?



All my friends.

In my time of need, all my friends leave. When I need hope, all my friends are smoking dope. When I need a ride, all my friends run and hide. When I get thirsty, all my friends have no mercy. When I get hungry, all my friends laugh and tell me I'm funny. If I should need a hand, all my friends lay in the sun and get a tan. Then they come to me and ask me for a dime, and I give them my last one, and it makes me feel fine. Because I was by there side.

About this poem

When I should need anything there is always no one around. But when they need something they're all around.
