Backstabbers

by Gem   Jan 7, 2007


There are certain types of people
'Friends' you should watch out for
They take their joy in hurting you
Before running for the door

After countless experiences
I've finally got it sussed
These people are backstabbers
And they shouldn't have your trust

They pretend that their your friend
And that they are on your side
But then you hear the rumours start
And you realise they lied

They can make you feel worthless
Like you shouldn't be around
Taking your self confidence
And running it to the ground

They mostly get away with it
So they always do it again
Backstabbing another person
Causing unnecassary pain

But out of all the stories
There's one major thing I've learned
Backstabbers are only powerful
When you've got your back turned ©
