Day 38
Thought I'd write a quick poem...won't publicize this too much..if you catch it you do if you don't...you won't.
Have you ever looked around you..like the people u deal with and just feel like they're all strangers?
...and what about the strangers? Have you ever seen lifetimes go by in their eyes? their laugh? their walk?
And of the friends...those who swore they'd stand by your side...how do you feel about gaining their trust, their loyalty, their promise to always be when all you can think about is getting away?
And of the strangers...why do their words penetrate you're being...criticism or praise; when those familiar voices barely catch your attention?...and conversations are reduced to "huh's?" absent "yea's" and the all too common repetition of the last words spoken in a sentence to pretend you share an interest.
And you silently ponder why strangers seem to have more faith in your ability and dreams while your friends laugh, sigh, or shrug your ambitions off...or maybe they support you because "you've always been the smart and successful one" and that's just what's expected of you.And with slight reflection you realize those strangers don't judge you because they don't know enough about you to do so...that one day those strangers will become friends and that at one time those friends were strangers...

oh man..
ReplyDeletei definitely agree with this one rahkim.
the line i really like is "that one day those strangers will become friends and that at one time those friends were strangers..."
i never even thought of it that way but its very tru. there are friends that we have that really live out their duty as a tru "friend" but then there are some that really make you feel like they dont have no business even being your friend..and then you wonder "how did our friendship begin in the first place?' or "why exactly are we friends?" i think it takes a lot to know the real friends in your life and see what their motives are...sometimes when i look at my close friendships that i have i can definitely see a huge difference from the other friendships that are just there just to be there. and strangers, thats another story. don't take this literal but sometimes a stranger will treat you better than your own best friend, and thats something to think about.
