true colors

Its funny when you get into certain moods and everyones true colors start to show. The people that you thought were your friends - really end up to be someone that you didn't they were. People's true colors tend to come out under pressure.

Sometimes, the colors are bright. Those kinds of people are there for you and try to cool you down when you're red hot. They are there to lend an ear for you to vent and are able to give constructive criticism. You can constantly vent and rant on about something that doesn't effect them at all but they are just there to listen and soak it all in because they know in the end, it'll make you feel better. They know you well enough that even though they reap no benefits, they have the ability to just listen because you mean something to them - and somehow how you feel, affects them.

Then there are the dull colors - the ones that care about themselves and only themselves. Pretending to listen while thinking about their own thing. Trying to turn it around so somehow you talk about them and what they're going through. Its funny when it has nothing to do with them, they don't care - even though they claim to care about you, and how you feel matters to them. When push comes to shove, you really don't matter to them and they were only your friend to take advantage of the benefits that you had for them.

Under pressure, everyone cracks. It just depends on which way you're going to shine - bright or dull?
