Telling My Life Through Poetry
I could write anything and people will believe it true
rather than speaking to me they read a poem or two
create a view
one that suits
thinking that you judge me true
are you somebody I once knew
and now I do without
did you fail me
mentally unhealthy
instead of interact
believing all the people who thought I would be back
those I gave a cold shoulder
for years and years in fact
thinking they must know me best
while I kept them in the black
when they poked and prodded me
regardless of my request
I told them straight our days are done
and they should let them rest
while they told people we were sound
and I was sorting out my head
so I had to publicly announce
our friendship was truly dead
we’re you caught up in that confusion
where did it come from?
Talk to me and you’d reach a conclusion
understand where I come from
I was the one avoiding my friends
while they told you what went on
All the while they talked pretend
believed by all but wrong
I don’t like them that’s why I disappear
I wasn’t away sorting my head
And they control everything you hear
believing every word they’ve said
I’ll be back for the attention
they said year after year after year after year after year after year after year
yep 7 years they stuck to that,
loving the attention, making me look like I was mentally broken,
Playing the role they love the most, a caring friend, and one who’s close,
like they suffer because I suffer, oh how they self promote,
you know their fake right? In a fake light? I kicked them out my life
and you think it’s me not thinking clear,
Do you believe what I’ve written here?
We ain’t close and you ain’t near
judging me on hear say and rumour
You must be flipping weird
you can think about me, freely as you choose
You’re somebody I don’t think of, you’re a nobody I once knew
