Who is good for us and who isn't? Who improves us and who doesn't? It's up to us to choose, though it is tough  Who we want by our sides, when life gets rough  Friendships are a dime a dozen, that's a fact  And everyone claims that they have your back As we get older, everything changes  Even best friends, can end up strangers  But it's up to us, it's our call to make Even if the decision is or ends up a mistake  And though looking out for ourselves is a must It is important to know who we can trust  Because we all fester about who will be there, And sometimes we're blind to people who really care  Communication is another essential  Because a lack of it, can be a defining differential  We can a do lot by just reaching out to each other  And resolve any issues we have with one another  If we accept our faults, we can progress more  As human beings we have to, in order to grow  It’s easy to blame others for our shortco...

Everyone has something to say About the things, we do every day Everyone’s entitled to use their voice Whether we listen or not, is our choice People always try to cut us down But it’s up to us to swim or drown Like actions, even words can hurt Where it comes from, defines its worth Sometimes unexpected stones are cast And it’s clear some things aren’t meant to last But how important are the voices we hear? How much does it hurt when the truth is clear? Don't listen to irrational and idle chatter Think about whose opinion really matters If it questions the foundations of loyalty and trust Then weighing the pros and cons is a must So before all of it gets in your head Just ask yourself, who said?

Sometimes we never know What's real and what's a show We take People at face value Without knowing what's true We trust without blinking And love without thinking We confess and we confide Thinking nothing can divide But sometimes we get hurt The ones we trust, slinging dirt And then their truth is revealed Their agenda's no longer concealed And the pain is almost numbing Because we never saw it coming And the ones we feel will never break Cause the most painful heartache But that's just how life works out Not all friendships go all out That may be a hard pill to swallow Betrayal can make anyone feel hollow Friendship is more than time spent It's not transactional, there's no rent It's more than drinks and companionship And it's more than just a relationship It's support through good and bad It's a hug when you're happy or sad It's unconditional love and respect Without ever knowing what to expect Above all...

On our family, loved ones and friends We only see the good in them all And hope they’ll catch us when we fall We blindly put our hearts in their hands Regardless of where they stand But sometimes that trust is misplaced And we end up in a really dark place Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken Especially when no words are spoken It leaves our hearts broken and tattered Making us feel like we never really mattered But that’s life and not everyone stays And we still open our hearts every day Because nobody wants to live life alone And even if it’ just a voice on the phone We need someone to talk to and to listen Because our own minds can feel like prison It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend They truly care and will be there till the end But still, for all, it would be naive  To think that even they won't leave But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts Because we never know what it may start? It could be ...

What a time to be alive In a world that once thrived Life is at a standstill And how we react is our own will It has taken away life as we knew it And tried hard to break our spirits It has taught us many lessons About ourselves and our emotions Lockdown has taken a toll On our minds, bodies, and souls Stuck at home and lost in thought About past battles and ones to be fought And our minds are now implanted With freedoms, we took for granted At the same time, it has reminded Of friends who are like-minded It has renewed loyalty and love To help us all rise above It is true we’re far apart From those close to our hearts But we’re not alone in any instance We’re together despite the distance Take solace in the little things Embrace what little joy they bring Because we will be together again Or all this will be in vain Despite the frustration felt within We can’t let this pandemic win So stay healthy and don’t roam Please be safe...

As we all battle through the darkest of days Let’s all be thankful for the ones who stayed Because at your side there will be a few Who will hold your hand and guide you through Shoulders to cry on when you’re at your worst Friends you can lean on that you didn’t see at first People who understand and will always be there Reminding you of love when you feel nobody cares Isolation can take a toll, it’s relentless and unkind It plays on our weaknesses and leaves us blind We aren’t the only ones enduring its darkness Sometimes it’s hard to fathom its harshness It makes us feel lonely though we aren’t really alone And it provided a loyalty we have seldom known So let’s be thankful for those who kept us all sane And get past the  darkness and be together again

Insult me,go on, keep bitching and moaning I won't fall prey, I'll just keep on ignoring I will not bow down to you petty minded folk Or to those who think I'm nothing but a joke I've been torn apart by many over the years I pushed through the pain and fought back tears For years, I've ripped out knives from my back And kept on fighting to get my life on track Yes, I've made mistakes, I'm just a human being Comndemnd by judgment to the anger you're seeing Nobody ever remembers the good that I've done Despite it all,  it's my life that's come undone I'm still learning truths about my so called friends The one's who promised they'd be there till the end The same lot who abandoned me when I was down But guess what, I'm still afloat and I didn't drown I stood with you and picked you up after the falls Woke up in the middle of the night to answer calls You held my mistakes against me, and I didn't see...

We always look for that common ground People who can relate to us are seldom found We all crave the same like-minded companionship The kind that feels like more than a normal friendship We always look for that truly understanding heart People who know what we’ve been through before we start That one person we enjoy talking to, someone who listens One who you can laugh and cry with, without inhibition It’s rare that we actually find someone who gets everything And when we do find them, we’re quick to let them in We open up hearts to them without holding anything back And just by being there, they help us get our lives back on track We trust them completely and they become our best friends And we hope that they won’t break that trust till the very end We all need that one person, that one confidant in our life The ones who will never leave us, even when we endure strife They are the ones we turn to when things go completely wrong Through the h...

Come back to me sanity You've been gone too long I fall at your feet with no vanity Cos it was you who kept me strong Come back to me friendship Cos you truly completed me In a split second you abandoned ship You left me so cold and empty Come back to me conscience Give me solace in time of need You were my true  constant And on you,  my soul would feed Come back to me laughter Bring back my smile for the world to see You truly were my master Cos you brought everyone to me Come back to me freedom You raised me at my worst You gave me more than wisdom And it's you who I miss the most

People come and go in life That's a God given fact  Some stay forever, some don't  That's just how life goes  We create bonds with some Bonds that are stronger than others  We open our hearts to them  In the hopes that it lasts forever  We're there for them at a call Spilling blood, sweat and tears  We support them through the worst  In the hopes they'll do the same  This isn't always the case though  Sometimes they don't feel the same  and in the end the leave us behind  And it's hard seeing them with others  That's just how this world works  We depend on people without fear Ultimately we lose them,  And we feel like we've been replaced  In the end, regardless of friends or family  Nothing lasts forever and we must accept it  At the end of it all, we only have ourselves  Because as it happens, we can all be replaced 

Sometimes we don’t have a choice We have to give in to that little voice Regardless of how much it hurts inside There are something’s we just have to hide It’s hard to let go of anything, nobody can deny that Regardless of what it is, it’s hard and that’s fact And as much as we suffer and hurt because of it Sometimes to move forward, we just have to quit It’s a terrible part of life, but a part nonetheless And it’s the only way we can move from the mess We have to accept certain truths about life Even if it feels like the sharp end of a knife We let go of certain sentimental belongings We even lose our pets without any warning We bury any animosity held against our peers Even if it all lingers in our memories for years The hardest thing is letting go those we love dearly Best friends, partners and especially family Sometimes circumstances force us to step back Because sadly it’s the only thing that’ll keep us on track

The Lords of Rum, a band of brothers four united by a bottle like none before no bar in the land was ever the same when these brothers four, started playing their games From Waters Edge to AM-PM, united did they stand, everywhere they went, they were like a traveling band from Sinatra to the Beatles, singing songs of old the memories of these nights, though blurry are gold It didn't really matter when or where they would convene, even if the venue was a serene latrine often joined by others, every weekend was epic it's a miracle that nobody ever needed a medic There is one who joined this brotherly convention, a lady of rum who deserves an honorable mention like them, her voice didn't come with volume control but because of that bottle, even she was always on a roll Four brothers and a sister, this clan should go down in history, how Rockland created that magic, is an absolute mystery though now they've disbanded, and gone their separate ways the...
