PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

if you know the truth,

will it make you a better or worse person?

it made me change

maybe for the better, as it should

but i positively feel worse

i was thinking the other day,

"how much do i talk about cars?

how much do i talk about food?

how much do i talk about myself?

how little do i talk about God?"

and i looked over to my friend

driving me home from the batting cages

that got abandoned years ago,

where locals go to smoke weed, and skate.

and i looked at him with fear,

afraid of what he'd say

if i told him the truth

or

if he knew i shied away.

where love is lost you find only fear

and fear turns into hate.

it's such a subtle thing

when you don't say the things you ought

to the people that you ought to save

you start to loathe being with them

for the hidden love you can't live up to

confronted every time you see a face
