POEM; FRIENDSHIP'S BURDEN

People aren’t worth the time it takes

to get to know them.

And before you are familiar,

before good chance has been given,

they are gone.

They judge you and decide on one small fault

or another’s opinion.

Prove me wrong.

Prove to me that people are worth knowing.

Show me the time it takes, is to be taken

and appreciated.

That it will be rewarded and thanked.

That people are not only in your arms

so that they may be free again.

That they can have mind enough

not to leave you so fast and strong.

Show me you will listen, and care.

Prove to me that people have that ability

To not jump on one belief

And ruin your idea forever.

Let me see that the price payed

Is a fair value.

I have the riches

but the product has never

expressed its quality,

and has only ever left me

with ends

of which nothing can result.
