Lies

Contributed by VR2776 on Tuesday, 8th September 2009 @ 11:37:44 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

Things come to the light and
I’m beginning to see
That no one is the same
As they started to be

As things begin to change
So do the people I know
And though it shouldn’t surprise me
I still feel the blow

It’s as if I'm in high school
all over again
The time when everyone
pretended to be friends

The ferment in my heart
is more than I can bear
how can people be so cold
as they pretend to care

why is it important to me
to have people in my life
why is it important when
they’re all full of lies

but I'm no different
for I have lied to them
I haven’t been true
Or been a real friend

The real me they haven’t seen
The real me they don’t know
How do I expect that the
real them would show

More than one person
That’s who’s inside
For my real identity
I cannot define

What defines me right now
Is anger, bitterness and pain
So much so I feel like I'm
going insane

I’ve been so disillusioned
that I would believe
That people could care
What happens to me

Why should they care
Why should they worry
Its not their problem
What inside I keep buried

Foolish I am for thinking
That on anyone I can rely
I will learn to depend
Solely on…. I

I think there are many of us who can relate to this. We all have doubts about who we are and who our friends are and sometimes, in this world full of people, we can be, or feel, extremely alone. Personally, I know how you feel, there are people in my life who I thought I knew and I thought knew me. I have realised that we never truly know anyone but we still need to have faith in each other to survive. It's a gamble, but isn't it worth it?

I liked how this progressed. I will say that somewhere in the middle the flow jumped out a little and a couple of the rhymes seemed a little forced, but that the end smoothed out nicely.

Hold on in there, ok? Some people are definitely worth the pain, don't let it hurt you beyond repair.
