Feelings Unacknowledged

In this world it's hard to tell, who is your true friend

We're all obsessed with manipulation, when will it all end.

with self-obsession and hate for them, you're blinded by the fear

Then when you're away, and you're not okay, they're talking of you with a sneer.

Sometimes you see, how they make you bleed, with sorrow,

but you don't acknowledge

Yet other times say, "that can just go away" 

because you are too wrapped up in knowledge.

Seeker of attention. They may need attention. I like quiet life and good conversation. I liked your words and thoughts. We shall few true friends. Old wisdom I like. Do something you enjoy. Make yourself happy with life and other things. Thank you Taz for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.

Interesting subject you chose, but I believe you have done well here! I like the rhyme and the rhythm as well as the perspective you took. We can all relate to who our true friends are and how people can be deceiving as well as we can deceive ourselves!

Sometimes it feels too cold, a bit odd maybe cause were growing old. We see friends turn strange, its like were in a cage. We can't do anything yet we remain, I thinks its time to turn the page. It all gets better with change!
Make it happen Taz. I felt this piece

It's extremely disheartening that we can feel mistrust towards people who are close to us. Some underlying caution of possible backstabbing or betrayal, a lot of times just for their shallow indulgence in drama. I liked the way you phrased it "We're all obsessed with manipulation" and "blinded by the fear", which really speaks to society's inattention to good communication, healthy relationship-building, and self-respect.
