Avoiding the Part of Me That Screams 'Sympathy'
Written June 4th, 2005
It takes too much to hold my tongue,
friendships were so easy when we were so young.
Too many factors to now factor in;
boys, girls, still with monsters all within
Double edged swords, prideful cutting stares;
no one says what they mean, the love’s no longer there
A ladder of social misfits, all trying to fit in;
Beauty reigns the top rung, ironically so does sin.
I try to play fair, be the person I should be;
but the part in me that screams “sympathy”
has faded along with my sense of dignity.
Popularity too much of a priority.
Everyone gets cut down, everyone gets lost.
We seem to all forget the reason, the final cost.
Wagering emotions, I won’t fold if you get hurt.
’Cuz we both know you’d do the same, run away, desert.
So I’ll scream silently, as I wait for this to end
Stand strong in my actions, No, I won’t repent.
The right path may be the hardest, the one barely walked.
Kindness gives you freedom, cruelty keeps you locked.
