The Ones Around You

By Britty

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

In this world There are people I know My friends The ones with much love to show We're very much different We don't see color We've laughed, cried And grown with one another But things have changed There's a loss of pride We are all hiding a secret feeling inside Is it love? Is it hate? Is it a confused ponder? Maybe joy, Maybe envy, My mind is filled with wonder I look at us now There's no unity at all Although the group is big We interact so small I thought it was me My expectations were long Because at times I feel Like I just don't belong It wouldn't be a problem If there wasn't so much anger Some of my friends Feel like complete strangers I can deal with some of this Here's the only place I want to be But I can't deal with the lies.... Because that's just not me Written March 26th, 2002 © on Mar 25 2002 03:38 PM PST   10 • 0
