Simple Truths

I'm kind of sick of everyone I know as of right now. I need to let my anger out somehow. I'm not trying to be mean in anyway either.

You are such a good friend to me.

I can trust you with everything I say.

We always have such a good time together.

 

Too bad you can be selfish.

Too bad you are insenstive towards other people's problems.

Too bad you forget about the people that are close to you.

 

You are a terrific listener.

I feel like we can be on the same page about many things.

We help each other out whenever possible.

 

Too bad you don't know what you want.

Too bad you contridict yourself often.

Too bad I can't trust you as much as I used to.

 

You are a smart person.

I really enjoy your company.

We get along well together.

 

Too bad you are too caught up in everyone else's lives.

Too bad you brush things off like nothing happens.

Too bad you don't care that much for me.

 

I am just trying to get along.

You might be too.

We see eye to eye, huh?

 

Too bad I can't live without attention.

Too bad I can get jealous.

Too bad I don't know how to interact with everyone.

 

But you know what?

It's ok.

We are all just people.

And we all live with our simple truths.

it was good the thing is everyone with ther problems its about loving them for them and learning to embrace ther problems i liked your poem especially at the end where you pointed out the accusers mistakes as well therefore making it a great poem woulda been good without it but the point u lead up to made it epic!

Everyone has problems, and no one is perfect. I like how you point out the good with the bad. To many people try and put a perfect picture around those they care about and then they are shattered when they realize that picture isn't complete with out the person as a whole. Very good and very simple I like it :)

I read this poem at a time I am struggling through the loss of my best friend ... due to her own selfishness. I still can't fully let go and find myself clinging to her friendship even harder, though she's pushing me and everyone else in her life away. Everyone except the new "love of her life" that will only use and abuse her ...

I feel the contradiction in our relationship. One one hand and in one moment, she's the best friend and so amazing, yet on the other, she's being selfish and harming others around her because of it...

You captured this brilliantly. You are speaking my words ... it's like our thoughts are joined.

Soo good, i can definitely relate to this. Indeed, very well written! Great work! :)

[Jezabel's Theory]

i liked this- ther are few contradictions but i think that actually ties in very well with the simple truths theme- we are never compleately one thing are we? we never fit so neatly into one description do we? at least the more interesting of us don't! i loved how you turned it around onyourself at the end that you don't let yourself off as impervious to critique was refreshing :) keep up the good work!
