People Tell Me

by Kris S   May 1, 2007


People tell me I'm bright;
People tell me I'll go places;
People tell me "I know you're smarter than that."

People tell me they care;
People tell me I'm loved;
People tell me I matter.

People tell me I'm worthless;
People tell me I'm useless;
People tell me I lie.

People tell me I'm a hypocrite;
People tell me I'm pathetic;
People tell me I'll be alone.

I tell myself the truth.

    I love your poem i can relate to this poem!!
    "one day i was walking toward a beautiful meadow when a old mad says that im walking towards a beautiful meadow of lies and behind me is the truth.
    i turn toward the truth and start to walk towards it not knowing what is in store for me in the dark place coming closer and closer towards me."
    a little something i wrote that seems to go along with yours people keep the truth from us then we find out and i hurts.
