People you love
Who know your whole life
They know how to get you
They cut like a knife
You feel great pain
With every word they say
When there are no words
You hear their echoes prey

This brings me to wonder
If it ever occurs to you
That others feel
The same pain you do
When you act in ways
That cut like a knife
Even towards people
Who don't know your whole life

I wonder if you hear yourself
And some of the words you say
And if you hear them
Do you say them anyway

I wonder if you know
How hard it is to love you
When you lash out like this
Toward those that try to

Love you in a moment
Love you in a day
Love you in a month
Love you in their own way

I wonder this because I have felt
Some of the pain you have dealt

Things you've said
Others you've done
All the while I'm trying to love
The person you've become

This brings me to wonder
If my skin is too thick
Because you don't see the blood
Once my heart feels the *****
I try not to tell you
As I can weild a deadly knife
And by trying to hide it
I may be causing more strife
I don't want to hurt you
Or throw things back in your face

Please forgive these errors of mine
My heart is in the right place

Hello Poetry Exclusive

I like to watch and observe people

For all I know
That guy over there
Just got his heart broken
By the girl of his dreams

For all I know
My classmate who's an outcast
Has had intense family problems
A broken, maybe even abusive, family

For all I know
Miss Popular, who everyone fears
Is actually scared of herself
Scared that she'll turn into the monsters
Monsters her parents have become

For all I know
Class Clown, who makes everyone laugh
Has the biggest problems
Cries herself to sleep at night
So close to killing himself

For all I know
I dont know anything
One thing I'm sure of is that
Everyone has a problem
No matter how big or small
To each one of us it's all the same
A burden

You always wonder what real love is like
Thinking that he or she is worth the fight
Love aches whether its right or wrong
Wondering where it is your heart belongs
