Grown up Games What confuses me What causes me the most grief Is I don’t know how to play the games grown ups do... See I am too literal, sincere, too honest I used to think these were good qualities And I have tried to live my life that way Even admitting when I had failed in My own prearranged ideals for my living I see now that those traits Hold no value to the rest of the world Only lead to heartache and confusion There is a knack to this quality, being “grown up” A way to say thing; to play and tease A way to say nothing; mean nothing Yet, use all the same words others do Can the players all wear a specific color Something so the unwary can avoid them? It seems a bit heartless to play with those Not only ignorant but unprepared I think I am genetically lacking It is my biggest complaint with the human race I thought it was others, that people just weren’t truthful However, I have come to see That it is I, who does not know the rules Cannot understand the game I am missing a few cards of a full deck Not all together there, they kindly say Somewhere in spite of all the brutality and crap in life I failed to learn the most vital lessons How to lie thru my teeth; say absolutely nothing Pretend I do not feel a damn thing And know in my heart everything about me is a lie |

DeaDi, I have often felt this way. I too, try to see the truth in things. It is often hidden, too well. You keep polishing that water. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

Yes, there is a place for us. Unfortunately it's only a message board on the web. *sigh* I'm still looking for one in the real world. I'll let you know if I find it. I find the most powerful poetry is put in this folder. That's probably why I come here so much. This is a very emotional poem and I felt every word. Nice job. There are a million messages, |
