my poem

Pleasing everyone
Comes back to get you
Pleasing yourself
Turns everyone against you


Hurt feelings
Can't be avoided
Others' or your's?
Only one can be avoided


People attack 
As if you don’t feel it
Point out flaws
As if you needed to hear it


Trusted ones
Now tell everyone
Special ones
Now become everyone


People speak
As if they know
Words spread
As if the world should know


Faces judge
Thinking their better
Noses up
Knowing they are better


Fake greetings
With hello’s and smiles
True valedictions 
Loose talk and faded smiles


Loneliness hurts
Wanting someone there
People hurt worse
Wishing no one was there


Valley’s purpose
Unclear to the mind
God’s will
Too unknown for the mind


Decisions
Faced with every day
Choices
Made throughout the day


Needing escape
But can't get out
Needing help
To find a way out


Turn to yourself
And you'll get nowhere
Turn to family
And you'll get somewhere


But turn to God
And you'll get everywhere


Decide
How you want to be
Choose
How you’ll get to be
