As Friends

As friends We imitate One another’s -isms, egos inflate As friends We narrate A million stories our lonely minds’ memory saved As friends Some triumphs come from huge mistakes That’s why you tell that one best As friends Through this remembrance We live, and don’t forget Of course I remember you Or at least I think I do It’s been this long so: This is perfect I know you’re something else Back then and right now Swollen with cheer another round We’re living’ loud You’ve grown to uncapped wealth You know so much now Ameliorate your sodden slouch Rerun a memory return to right now You’re smiling now Be here right now As friends We narrate A billion stories our memory saved As friends We innovate A million reasons to Participate As friends Some triumphs come from huge mistakes And that’s we we tell those ones best As friends Through this We live And don’t forget You know what’s rough: Giving in but not giving a f*ck You know what’s luck: Sobering up, falling out of love You know redundance: Complaining about being broke when you’re drunk And you know abundance: Pull yourself out of your own funk These broken hearted themes Dead horses to be beat And yet it feels good when the real life and relevance meet You know what’s evil? It’s using the ones you love You know what’s feeble? Behaving like you are above.
