Friends.....Tree of Life

sometime i get so caught up in this web shit that i forget that the real friends are the ones you can see when you want too or talk to on the phone not just people that have you marked down as a friend for the sake of having more people to have be apart of their page i have actual friends who i hang with and who are there for me when i need them i dont ask for much just loyalty and respect basic principles you know i mean so many times have i gotten phone calls and been like who is this and people have the nerve to get mad i tell em like this if i aint heard from you in two straight weeks your ass is deleted out of my phone simple right?....well to some people its cruel and mean but i say what s mean is when you have people who again your trust and once they have it they do whatever they please with it that hurts or people who say they are down for you down for whatever right and when the time comes they are no where to be found is astonishes me just how often i get lied to when it tell everyone i have been hurt so much i expect the worse so aint no need to lie to me and its sad that i can admit that but at least i know that about myself what can be said for you? do you know just who you are? do you know who all your real friends are?.....you have to look at it like this you are the tree right and people well there are 3 types of people you have those who hang around for a season they get what they need and what they want and when its there time they go they are the leaves these are the people who come around only when the need something or when things are going good for you they dont have much to offer just something to look at you know maybe a girlfriend who you really dont like or cant stand but she is just nice to look at of a friend who all he does is nag and complain but you hang out with him cause he always offers to pay for everything type or the ones who you only go out with to party because you know they can get you in somewhere people these are the ones we cant hold on to cause they will only fall off as soon as their time is up you have tons of these types of friends......then you have the people who they are good friends they stick around through thick and thin when you need someone to lean on they are there you have sometimes you may not agree with everything they do and yall have yall times when you dot get along and during the winter it is really ugly cause all your flashy friends are gone and these are the one you have that stick around through the hardship these are good friends sometimes when you get into it real bad they break off and never come back but thats is okay because you have other friends that you can rely on these are the branches to your tree.......then you have the roots the few that are stuck with you through life and all it has to offer the good the bad and the ugly the ones who never judge you cause they know just what your about they know what to expect from you and you never have to look far for these friend cause they are always close by they help you in your time off need they feed your tree of life they are the ones who hold you firm to your beliefs and dont shake for anything they are not going anywhere these are the roots to your tree......you see people are simple to explain you just have to find the right way to say it i mean i would love for all my friends to be roots or branches even but it just doesnt work that way you have to learn to play your position and watch for the leaves to fall and the branches to snap i know sometimes it get hard to the point where you dont know what to do but thats when you call on your roots to make you remember just who you are and what they are too you and help keep you grounded
