Who Are The ‘Real’ Friends?

Who are the real friends? I really will like to know.
I’m in an entanglement and in confusion, which always grow.
My intelligence quotient is almost going low.
Please, who can help me? Before him, I am going to bow.

Are those people who drag you into friendship just for something they could get from you?

Or;
Those who give you what you need in exchange for what they need from you?

Or;
Those who pray for you to get so that to get and thereafter they dumb you?

Or;
Those who flutter away from your side when things get tough for you?

Or;
Those who visibly are riding with you and invisibly not riding for you?

Or;
Those foist their loyalty in your presence but in your absence they are scheming to destroy?

Who are the real friends?
I really will like to know.
I am in entanglement and in confusion which always grow.

Are those whom you’re fighting for but in return, they’re fighting you?

Or;
Those who pretend to protect you but behind the scenes blow you?

Or;
Those whose secretes you vowed to keep but round the world, they spread your own?

Or;
Those whom you depend on not to be blackmailed but they give chances to people to blackmail you?

Or;
Those who love you for what you are not who you and how you become what you are?

Or;
Those you disconnect with for most – important things, and reconnect with for less-important ones?

Who are the real friends?
I really will like to know.
I am in entanglement and in confusion which always grow.

Are those people who ask a lot about your struggle but failing to celebrate your success?

Or;
Those who tease and taunt your errors, failures and move against and your success?

Or;
Those who send you backhanded compliment in order to wound or confuse you?

Or;
Those are less-attention to the million of right things you do, just for their busy on the few wrongs you do?

Or;
Those who hate and are getting disinterested in seeing you climbing up to the top level?

Or;
Those whom you got exhausted to groom but in return, they hunt, compete and attack you?

Or;
Those who in the journey of their lives and they easily forget how important you are?

Who are the real friends?
I really will like to know.
I am in entanglement and in confusion which always grow.

My intelligence quotient is almost now going low.

Please, who can help me? Before him, I am going to bow.
