People

I'm a real people person
human interaction is important
we have a lot of 
heart to heart conversations
but in people's personal lives 
there is a lot of sorting 
So we glance over 
but rarely do we glance through
sometimes first impressions
can be fatal 
sometimes it's the glue 
that makes people cool 

Even enemies have some type
of impact on who you are today
they toughened you up 
so now your less afraid 
It's these countless encounters
that make life amazing. 
These people add memories
that are worth forever saving.
Some people think they can do it alone
but loneliness is just spite
you distance yourself from the ones
who could eventually make it right. 

So even though I'm secure enough 
to be alone I will admit that without
these daily interactions
I would lose sight of who I was. 
People make life happen.
and if you stay a stranger 
your socialization skills will 
be in danger.

Couldn't agree with you more, Shahana. The interaction is an important part of my life, too. Indeed, "People make life happen," and we can't remain islands without losing out on the best things life has to offer. Very nice poem! Love, Carolyn
