What You Have to Say

------------------------------------------------------------

When you have all these people in your life,
When you think all this love is there,
When you try to tell them what you think,
The response you get is bare.

As you go through life trying to strive,
As you put out everything you got,
As you wait for them to stay it stinks,
All you get is squat.

While you try to remain alive,
While you struggle every day,
While you watch everyone blink,
Just remember....
The important thing is what you have to say.

------------------------------------------------------------

This poem came to me while I was browsing Facebook and tried messaging a couple people who I used to talk to before and both times they ignored me. It showed the message was seen but they didn't reply and been ignoring me for days now. It's frustrating and I feel as though even though you have people you know in your life, that it doesn't really matter because one day they can just ignore you for no reason that's obvious to you.

You try to show people what you think, do, or want to say and they never acknowledge you since their lives are more important right?

It made me scared to say what I think or feel to these people, or to anyone who acts this way. I went through a time that I never spoke what I thought or felt....just to avoid the let down. My boyfriend talked to me though and made me realize that was no way to live so I started opening myself up once again, but the same thing is happening that happened years ago....I feel as though I should just stop trying to reach out to anyone if all they'll do is just shun me like some dog on the street.

You may have alot of things to say, alot of important things, but what's the point if nobody is going to listen?

Today...

Part 1: Trying to Let Go

I seen you today,
Walking with her,
You looked at me,
and you smiled.

I heard you today,
Speaking to her,
You looked at me,
and you laughed.

I told you today,
when you were alone,
"I want to forget;
to let go."

You told me today,
when we were alone,
"I don't care,
you can go."

This was about how I had told my ex I wanted to forget, to let go, and move on. He told me I can do what ever I want, he don't care. It don't bother him what I choose.

I'm thinking about doing a story type thing, but in poetry. One poem for each part of what my heart thinks. What do you guys think?
