My Other Friends

My Other Friends Never knew cruel could be so mean Never knew horror would get so mad Never knew sorrow till I felt a gasp Never knew shock till I stood outside myself Never knew life could be this bad Never knew sad till after bad Never knew death till he stole my family in a glance Never knew loneliness till after death Never knew about loss till a memory came rushing back Never met hate, held out for rage Never felt ashamed till I released rage Never let go of hope found out we didn’t float, courage had my raft waiting for him and humor to bring it back Never knew danger had a life long standing invitation Never knew love could be so blue, orange and yellow were always so cool Never called materialistic, she showed up with optimism Never saw jealousy standing outside waiting grabbed humble and we did a double Never got too much of grief till he showed up with a suitcase and stood in his briefs Never knew boring come with a warning Never knew appreciation could be so forgotten Never knew dreams could finally come true but with nightmare's manners Never knew the addictions just want to gloat and talk about pity Never knew pride could live close bye and never visit
