A laugh
A pat
A joke
A gentle pinch

A smirk
A twitch
A tease
A hard flinch

A frown
A push
A mean laughter
A more than hard shove

A friend
A companion
A bully

Sometimes a what seems like a true friend is nothing but an impostor, and I wrote this poem after experiencing someone dupe me like that.
