Look, there, watch all the people. They don't want to cry and they don't want to bleed. So afraid to live and laugh and so afraid to die, All they do is stand back, afraid to take the lead. They are all trapped in an endless dance, In circles they all turn and spin. Ignore without a backwards glance The ones who can't join in. So much for them to think about, So they don't even try. Continue with their mindless song, Turn their backs on those who cry. I don't want to be one of those people. Fearing yet staying with their own mindless sham. But I look in the mirror, and between tears I see, As much as I deny it, that's what I am. |

It is often shocking to find out we are what we dislike and try not to be. Great Poem The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Hope, Excellent piece. Very true....it is always hard to see ourselves how we really are instaed of what we thought we were. This was great!!! Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Your tears have distorted your vision, for one of “those people” you are not. Very good. Joel |

Oh no, no, a poet's words are not only reflected from the mirror but rarely blurred in tears and shine crystal clean.... Kathleen |

Great poem my friend! I know it's hard to find out that you're something you thought you weren't but all that you accused yourself of isn't true. You aren't like that... <3 Shadow Love is our greatest weakness but when it's found, it's our greatest strength. |
