Talking Down

About a friend that doesn't seem to see the real me.

Here you go again,
talking down to me as if you know it all.
Spitting words of book smart knowledge
while having no common since at all.

You go about your every day life
pretending to have it together.
Really you've lost the true meaning
of living your life to the fullest.

You don't speak to me in the way you speak to everyone else you know.
Don't you even really know me??
I'm not the small one you think is so stupid,
so dumb, so nieve.

One day I'll show you up
at your own game.
You just wait and see.
After that you won't have to naive
to ever talk down to me.

Nothing's perfect,Don't be too harsh please!!

Confident and honest, you communicate so clearly about the strife that comes from friendships and egos... Wish we could all learn to listen just a bit more...

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Stand tall my friend... some people get so wrapped up in themselves they think they know best... I love this... you say it with confidence and that says you know who you are.

[~*The Writer In Me*~]

EXCELLENT POEM. I HAD A FRIEND WHO ACTED EXACTLY THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE IN THIS POEM. I CAN RELATE VERY WELL TO WHAT YOU SAID.
