Why in the world, is there no one left to be dependable

A true friend I am, but to everyone else so expendable

A man of my word, I do whatever I say I’m going to do

Everything is fine, until it’s time for it to be done for you

What does it take, to find someone that you can count on

I’m surrounded by procrastination, all reliability is gone

I give, I give, and I give, and people are so readily to take

But don’t think for one second, they’ll do it for your sake

So many friends are only friends when they need a hand

I’m so sick and tired of being, the foolish one way stand

I define a true friend, by their reliability and their trust

Both of these important traits, definitely being a must

I feel like I’m being used, and weighs heavily on my mind

A needle in a haystack, today a true friend is so hard to find

I try not to ask for help, but sometimes it’s just inevitable

The rarity I do ask for it, they are all busy or unreachable

I know the best way to get something done is on your own

But that’s very hard when I’m always gone and never home

I suppose you’re lucky, if you can hold onto one true friend

Someone who does what they say, and there till no end

It saddens my heart that this world has become so mean

Drowning in selfishness, arrogance, and the pursuit of green

Whatever happened to self respect, loyalty, happiness, and trust

We have lost our way and these are memories blowing in the dust

If you have a true friend, call them and just say thank you

Let them know you appreciate all the things that they do

Friendships are relationships and are not one way streets

So don’t be selfish, unreliable, and fill them with deceit

Hold your friends close and lend the occasional helping hand

Don’t let yourself become the kickstand to a one way stand
