Melancholy awakening

I have lost nearly all of my faith in the human race. Just when I started to get my hopes up, they crash and burn to the ground. I am left with nothing but minuscule pieces in a pile of ashes at my feet. I do not understand why people do the hideous things they do. I do not understand how a foe disguises themselves as a friend for so long. How could I not see that someone I held so dearly was just like the many others who have deceived my friendship? I am not irate at the matter, or the person. I am merely upset at myself for not unmasking both faces of this so called companion of mine. I truly hope that people learn their childish games can not go on forever. One day they will be left with nothing. One day they will be left with only those who like themselves find enjoyment in their treachery. A sinner among the damned they will become. I have no sympathy for those who spit fire only to learn that it was their own mouths they were scorching. This year was intended to be the year I bonded with my friends before starting a new life. Instead this year has been the year I lost many friends trying to weed out the impostors and keep the true friends by my side. At least now I know I can start anew with people who I have nothing but support, trust, and love for. I don't need nor want any association with the others.
