LISTEN TO ME
If only you will listen to me
Not everyone was meant to be your friend
Some people are better off from afar
Never allow them come close
Sometimes they see you from afar
They try all they can to get close to you
The moment you allow them close to you
They take everything for granted
When they see you from afar they will respect you
When they see you from afar they will honour you
When they see you from afar they will smile at you
But allow them come close they will despise you

Before I grew up to become a woman
My mother once told me this
‘Familiarity breeds contempt’
Be careful of who you make your friend
Keep your circle few
Loyalty is everything
If you see that in anyone
Keep them closer
Never try to please anyone
It is okay to say no some times
Never try to smile when you don’t mean it
Be nice but don’t be a fool
Where do enemies come from?
Where do haters come from?
It is from among same people
You once called friends
Sometimes it is better to keep the distance
Because that will maintain the respect
Be your own friend first
Before looking for a friend in someone else
It is okay if everyone has a ‘bestie’ and you don’t have
It is okay if everyone has a ‘bff’ and you don’t have
Life is not a photocopying machine
Do not copy the lifestyle of others.
I hope you listen to me
