it's a little weird for me to post this one b/c it's so "awkward" to explain the situation. but, i have a bestfriend (in college) who MEANS THE WORLD TO ME! and our friendship is just about flawless except i'm black and she's white and her hometown (friends & neighbors) don't accept that. her family is like my family i love them with all my heart and they accept me like i'm thier daughter still everytime i go home with her i get sick to my stomache cuz i get stares and i can feel the "hatred" in the air. and i'm at a point where i'm beginning to wonder how i can be true bestfriends with her if i can't even be accepted in her hometown and i have to lie to my parents about where she lives just so they will let me go. she is always considerate as to where she takes me and she tries her hardest to make me feel at home and i just think this world is sooo unfair! i don't have a title for this one and i don't think i captured all that i'm feeling b/c words just can't express it. do me a favor and rip it apart, i want to make this one the best poem i have ever written. thanks.

Two separate lives have crossed once more,
and my heart aches, just as before.
Excitement and anticipation plagues me at first,
but as the days go by, it's replaced with hurt.
Though arms wide open and love is on high,
I can't help but leaving every time wanting to cry.
How can 2 people who are basically the same,
have 2 different lifestyles that conflict in their ways?
Wanting to be a part of her life however I may,
but everytime I try, society says NO WAY!
I feel like an outsider, like I've done something wrong,
others look at me as if I don't belong.
Am I a crook, a criminal, someone to be feared?
It's just so unfair, now my eyes are getting teared.
My heart is crying even harder than last time,
and now I can't shut it out like it's not on my mind.
Only thing I want to do is be a true friend.
And maybe if I'm lucky all this hatred will end.
I pride myself on love in fact,
and I'd give ANYTHING for society to see that.

((warm hugs)))
your words moved my heart deeply, as I do recognize so many things within. I will mail you later, as I am only online for a short time now.
