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

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. � 2007 George E Thompson

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.
