The more connections I sever
The lighter I become
The anxiety lifted
From the pressures of …
Being a friend
Living up to expectations
Staying with the trends
Attempting to keep your attention
Or Seeming relevant …
In a world unfit for my thoughts
It seems the closer I become
To creating my own reality …
Free from disappoint …
The happier I become
For maybe then I can follow through
On my dark secret
That I share to you in jokes
That “just kidding” moment
Lightened with a smile and chuckle …
To ease your worry that it might be true
But still around, I am …
Each passing day lessening your suspicions
Just a running joke it has become
But maybe once I get rid of you …
Make myself think I’ve changed your view
From Friend to Foe
Then maybe I can make the decision
Guilt free …
One friend at a time …
Severing our ties
The unpleasant truth of my actions.
