Friendships And Relationships Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Friendships And Relationships

Rating: 5.0


We don't show ourselves as we are.
We want the people's acceptance.
We want to meet their expectation,
Which is a demand made on us.
Else we should not mind losing them.
Relationships differ from friendships.
Friendships last where much is concealed.
Relationships last where much is revealed.

This piece really connected with me 😔 It feels honest and personal, and the simplicity makes it even stronger. Really enjoyed it ❤️ I've been posting my own poems too on my profile, mainly focused on life and relationships.
