My friends are sitting around me, chatting and laughing.
We're having a karaoke night.
My best friend sings the end bars of her song,
And, everyone begins to applaud as she goes back to her seat.
I stand up, take my place, and sing my song.
It's finished but no-one claps.
They are all in deep conversation,
I realise that these aren't my friends.
I place the microphone down,
And walk away.

Wow. I really like this one. A great way of showing how some people may act like your friends sometimes but in the end they aren't.
