Ever thought of living here, but NOT being a PART of the world....


Poem Artwork

I have found that I can be here
Full of mirth and good cheer
I can pass for a friend or be a worst enemy
Don’t get my guard riled; I am free
This earth is mine to roam
From mountains high to seas with foam
I will not take arms against you
No matter what you try to do
I’ll support you with everything I have
I will not lie for you or your conscience salve
I will not feign that I’m good or bad
Be very vain or covertly sad
You take the path you want to follow
I have my own that walks through hill and hollow
Sallow people point fingers at me
‘cause I won’t take sides and assuage your frailties
Go your way, do what you want and how you must
Just know so much on this earth saddens me with disgust
Don’t suck me in to your plots and schemes
I have my own fortune to seek, dream my dreams
Let me sit here in peace this day
I hold my arms out to keep you at bay
Sin go away, Devil be gone
I turn for Heaven’s help at dawn.

Funny, I have a daughter who you could have written this about. She has no feeling towards others. In her eyes, the only person who needs a shoulder, a friend, a crying towel is herself. She can feel her own pain but can not see what she causes others. I will be there to help her up but I will not be the punching bag like so many others in her life. That line, I refuse to stand in. Sad, to love someone who loves only themselves is a lonely shadow to stand behind. Great piece George, I felt this one.

Way to go George, if that's what makes you happy...this world today is so full of treachery it's hard to make new friends,so keep what we have if we can...
