Poetry: Everyday people

Hate, Betrayal, Shame, Deceit;

Why must all of these things revolve around me?

Constant anger, confusion, and jealousy,

Why do you bother me?

Taunted by these things, they haunt me everyday.

Can anything ever go my way?

People telling me what to do and not to do,

Don't you people get it, I don't like you.

I hate having to depend on people,

Why can't I get treated like an equal?

Life is not fair but this is just insanity,

I try so hard to distance myself from profanity.

People keep bringing all of this crap around me,

People just leave me alone please.

    LUKA

    Luka was a mountain of a man.
    The best wood carver I ever met.
    He was as old as the hills,
    and as young as his latest

    We pass them each day

    Without a smile or a wave.

    Blaming our jobs,

    Our families, our dogs.




    Nameless, not faceless,

    Each of us
