Friend or Stranger

Who would rather have punch you in the face?
A friend?
Or a stranger?
In life comes hardships,
who would you rather throw the hardships at you first?
A friend?
Or life itself?
A friend would pick you up after and teach you how to overcome it,
 while life itself wont and will leave you to be trampled by your own weaknesses.

But would a true friend punch you in the first place? A true friend would help you through a hardship..

[Lydia Blackwell]

I would rather be betrayed by a stranger that doesn't know you, than a friend who would know just how to hurt you the worst. the trust would be lost and the bond broken. but I would have to say, that I think life has some good things to offer, and though the lessons may be hard, they do come in handy. the more you look for the good things, the more good you will see.

A friend for sure. life has no friends only time...

[Michael Jarrell]

I would rather a friend punch me in the face, because then we could overcome the moment and make it a bonding experience. If a stranger punched me in the face, there would most certaintly be a lengthy legal battle... and I'd probably be scared for my life. Although I may be able to get money out of either one... hm...

I would rather a friend punch me in the face for then I know I truly deserved it and usually with friends things can be patched up. This poem throws some great questions at the reader.
