Honesty

It's hard to let go
it's even harder to see
when the person that's lying
is really me.
I shout and I yell
and I make people mad 
then I get angry
then I get sad
I'm frustrated, I'm confused
I really want my friends to stay
but I push and I push
until I push them away.
It seems I have a problem
so starting today
I must learn to accept what happens in life
even if I don't mt my way
I don't know who I am
I don't remember who I was
 but learning to be me again 
would definitely help my cause
call this a poem or call it a prayer 
but this is the 4th 5th 6th chance
and there's someone who's still here
for me and for them
 i want to do the truth again
because if i can't i'll continue losing my friends.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
