Be My Friend
You say we created
I say we destroyed
You say we are the best
Top
Better
Best
I say we are low
Bad
Horrible
Low
Noone understands why I feel this way
I can’t explain
It’s my life
My life
My feelings
My thoughts
My life
Don’t hate me
Don’t look down on me
because I don’t like us
Who is us?
Us is simple.
Us is bad.
Low
Horrible
Bad.
Us is people
Humans
Humanity
People
We’ve destroyed, we’ve killed
We’ve loved
and hated
Built
and destroyed
People wrapped up in their own little world
Just themselves
What they are doing
What they did
Themselves
You, Yourself, and You
And I hate it
Selfish, Careless, Shallow and Rude
This is most people I have met
Not caring about those who you don’t affiliate with
Just those you are friendly with
And even then
It’s only about you.
Don’t you care? Don’t you see what is happening?
Of course not.
You see only you
Your reflection
A mirror
You
And only you
Not the destruction, sadness, and wrong doing
Just you
And you do not even see when you do it.
And it makes me sick
You just see a smile, a pretty face
I see a shallow soul, a masking facade
Masking you carelessness from others
But it would not matter without the mask
You don’t wear it half the time anyway
They don’t care either
So please, oh please
Start caring
Now.
But you will not, I wasted my breath
So please, oh please
Show me someone who does care
bring them here
And be my friend
