Gianna Hogen Poet Free verse

Right From the Start

You think this is funny?
You think this is fair?
          Me being locked out while I’ve always been there?!

I think you are lying
I don’t believe a word
         Just know you are not the only one here who's been hurt

So decline yourself aid, 
Lay around and mope
         But don’t blame me because you have lost all your hope

I tried to be patient, I’ve tried to stay sane
But I won’t be pulled down 
        Because you are comfortable in your pain

I was willing to help, but you pushed me away
And I won’t continue “helping”
	When you consistently ignore what I have to say

It pains me to see you like this, 
All down and depressed
	But some people’s troubles seem to drown out the rest

I love you to bits - with all of my heart
But I knew I couldn’t save you
	Right from the start

So I’m cutting you out, and leaving you now
Till you come out of and past the “why”
	And want to work on the “how”

Don’t take this as me, giving up on you
I’m just giving space for my words - like water - 
	To seep in and get through to you

We can fight this together, and come out on top
But first you must be willing
	To make it all stop

Until then my friend, I bid you goodnight
But know I will always
Stay within sight

When the moment arises, and you reach out to me
Open arms you will find, and a happier person
	You will someday be
