This is for virginia, b/c she apparently reads this. I wrote this at work and you said to put it up on LJ so I decided to. Here ya go.
I used to try to figure out what people were seeing
I wanted to see what they were seeing through their eyes
Through their point of view
But then I realized that seeing what a person saw wasn't enough
Because you can't feel what they're feeling
When a person sees something it reminds them of something else
Whether it be a ketchup bottle, a marker, or a cd
It could remind them of an old friend, a family member, and inside joke or more
I gave up trying to figure out what goes on in a persons mind
Because I realized that you never know what they are thinking
The song Konstantine by Something Corporate has a new meaning for me now
"I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen"
Because I don't know what a person has been through
I don't know what they've had to deal with
And I can't imagine who they know
I've met alot of people in my almost 17 years
And I've done alot of stuff
But all of it has made me who I am
And all of it is a reminder that I am still here
Strong as ever
And can take what you throw at me
Whether it be a bad name, talking about me behind my back, a lie discovered, or a deed done.
I know who I can run to when the tough gets going
I know who my true friends are
They are the ones standing right beside me when I need them most
They're the ones hugging me when I need to be hugged
The ones that are loving me when I need to be loved
They are the ones that know that this poem is about them
And they're smiling because they know how much I truly love them
And they're the ones that I couldn't live without right now
