The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Soap Opera Lives


Archaneus

Recommended Posts

Not really sure if that's teh best title but, oh well. I haven't posted a poem in a while so I decided I needed to post one and I really needed to vent. Inspired by the "wonderful" last day of February.

 

My friends have all their problems

They all have there complicated lives

I sit in the corner and wonder

When can I be involved?

When will I be allowed to be a friend?

I feel alone, they ignore me and continue

They have their soap operas

They have their problems

All I want to do is know and help

And all they do is pass me by as if I don’t exist

Can I be called a friend

When all I can do is observe?

being outcasted and alienated i think is what you trying to explain here... it always hard to make new friends, unless what you are reffering to is that your old friends are getting "tired of you" and your now officially expendable.

 

I like this poem, let's you demonstrate that certain degree of anger that is there and not. Reminds me of what my friends do :P Those damn @$$h0L3$ :P Sometimes i feel like shooting them

 

Thx for sharing

Heh... I can sort of sympathize. I don't often get left out like that, for some reason, but it's really frustrating to have just sit back and watch from the sidelines as friends ruin their lives... And all I can do, really, is be the shoulder to cry on and the listening ear...

 

I'm done now. A good poem/rant.

It feels that way sometimes. You want to give but no one wants to slow down to receive!

 

You want to listen, but they may hurt so much, they don't know how to talk.

 

Sometimes just quietly being there, so they don't feel alone in the chaotic swirls of their life, is a great gift.

 

Hugs

Frankly, I've found we all prefer our own drama, and frantically resist being pulled out of it, by resisting all other's views. That is why everyone wants to promote their view (to be heard), and resists everyone elses (doesn't want to 'hear'). To do so is to lose what little perceived cohesiveness we think we have in lives, even though our view is usually little more than comfortable habit.

 

It is a very hard thing to let go. So much of what we do depends on subconscious emotional undercurrents - so where is the interest - the payoff - in letting go of our egocentric view?

 

But probably you should just ignore this, if you all haven't already... ;)

 

Very perceptive poem Arch. :)

Doom - I was refering to feeling like the second one.

 

Alaeha - that's jsut the point, they won't allow mw to be the shoulder or the ear.

Deg - The whole point was people wouldn't let me be involved and you saying you will is already destroying my argument. :P Lol.
