With Friends Like Me... If I was to describe you I believe the best way would be to say you are that conversation that I dread to have. Because you're a little awkward, kind of off-putting. And you make me want to rip my hair out knowing that you're coming, but I know I feel better once you're there. That's why I can say honestly your a beautiful contradiction. Because I know that you love to hate me and I hate to love you. So why don't we just call it what it is period. You stereotypical yapping dog behind fence but I still go out of my way daily to walk past your house. Like that scab that always feels good to scratch so it never heals right. Or that TV show that nobody really wants to watch but they're all too lazy to get up to change the channel. No you're more like waking up on a Sunday morning and it's raining. Because sometimes I feel like you're as necessary as cheese on French toast. Or an umbrella in the bottom of my bag in the middle of July. But I like you better than hard bread dipped in cold tea. Or soggy socks at 8:30 in the morning. And insomnia, going off one hour of sleep knowing that you have a long day ahead. Because you're like overcooked meat, tough, hard to look at and something you just want to send back. But with friends like me who needs enemies. I tell you everything that you don't want to hear and need to hear. And not be affected in least, then walk away with a smile. As you do the same to me. Letting truth be the foundation that we stand on. Because I rather you trust me then to love me. Knowing the real me, I'll always love myself the best. Life just works better that way. #TheBlacksoulEternal
