Poetry: Confusion

Confusion

I'm confused
Why is it that people who don't get paid for it must act in a certain way?
My day today has been as solemn as any other day
I don't even know where to start this is more like me venting than it is a poem
For anyone that wanna listen i guess I'm writing this for them
This is a message to everyone who has lost someone in any way
Cause we all wish that all our loved ones could just stay


But this piece is mainly about my confusion
However it will seem like a fusion
Because there are all these topics that are just in me to write about
But i can't fully explain because i can't really figure them out
Now if you're reading this there might be something about you here
The main thing I'm confused about is where
Things went wrong and I'm not saying you were wrong
But i've done nothin but act as i have all along
I'm confused
How is it that a woman who's supposed to be so strong
Neglects to tell a friend when things go wrong
She could talk about the problem and try to solve it but instead
You run away from it with your tail between your legs
I'm confused
How can a woman with so much to offer
Be loyal to a boy that when he gets bothered
Decides to have a shouting match and when he thinks that he loses
Comes up to you and decides to deliver scrapes and bruises
I'm confused
Why does it feel like you're trying to avoid me
I might have crossed the line but you know that you did it before me
Now when i send messages your response is cut to just one word
I didn't believe you were phony but that's what i heard
I'm confused
Why do i feel like everyone's fake
But maybe i was wrong when i went off and called you a snake
I lost three close friends this month but I'm not too sure why
The cruddy thing is one of them didn't even tell me goodbye
One of them complains about how technology ruins people's lives
But she told me bye over the my answering machine after only calling twice
Another one ended it with a text message what the hell is goin on
I'm not quite sure but i know i gotta be strong
I'm confused
