People Pain

Many people in life come and go,
Some you keep close to you,
Some people in life you never know
Some a small dose will do.

Some seem similar,
Some very different, 
Some become familiar, 
Some kept distant.

Only those you choose to keep close can hurt you,
They can seem loyal and then desert you.

Brothers and sisters from other mothers,
Cheating lovers,
even those that share your mother.

It’ll hurt when they hurt,
But rather than dwell 
Walk on, live life, 
and forget their hell.

Forgiveness can be given,
But it will never be the same,
So focus on living,
And create pride in your name.
