Supercilious

Sometimes we are cruel Sometimes we are unjust Sometimes we say hurtful things and wonder why the sudden lack of trust. Sometimes we fake an apology Not because we feel remorse But because it's better to save face Than to be ignored We talk so much about others Refusing to see faults of our own. We forget to be kind to one another and as evidence has shown We fancy ourselves infallible 'Til our weaknesses are made known Then we weep the desperate weep 'Cause we are then forced to stroll through life alone

How very true! An honest poem that strikes a chord with me, as it is only as I grows older, that I am able to take a brutally honest introspective look at myself and my past behaviour and action! Thank you for an honest poem, and for a poem that asks us all to peer inside ourselves! Gritty but necessary. Keep writing :-) Cheers, Scribbler

thank you so much ;) honesty is a virtue few of us possess but perhaps hurt guilt and a lot of things would be spared in us if we made honesty a priority - Maddie P.S. you write wonderfully really enjoy your poetry thanks for sharing
