Down, Out And Forgotten

She used to live a great life But she's fallen on hard times She tried to turn her life around But she turned to committing crimes Nothing major, just petty theft Stealing what she can Always hoping that someone Will lend a helping hand All of her old friends Have turned their backs on her Living life without her Is just what they perfer It's so very sad to see Someone fall so far Knowing that forever She'll always wear that scar Knowing people who were her friends Turned their backs when she needed them The biggest mistake she made in life Was thinking that they were her friends Who do people turn their backs When someone is down and out I thought friends helped out friends Isn't that what friendship is all about But many times we get fooled Putting our trust in the wrong place Because when your world is upside down Sometimes it's hard to find a friendly face 10-31-18/RjH
