Free verse № 66308
confused
they tell you what would make you happy,
but if you dont listen to your friends,
what kind of friend are you?
dont your friends know you best?
or are you a little confused?
you dont want to accept whats true,
you choose to stay in the past,
only to find out you were wrong,
and now the best choice has gone,
trying to move on,
leaving you behind,
slowly walking away,
leaving you confused,
now what do you say...?
