What have you learned in the life that you live Is it better to go or sit right where you're at Do you think you can fly past your future in store Or do you need some more life to get past your front door.
The world thinks they've got you all figured out Yet they have not a clue as water fills up your cup As their minds are too busy groomin ghosts of their past.
Gossip arena hails ovational cheer While the darts lips and knives make your back bleed The source isn't worth your moments stricken blue When you come to find out loose lips about you.
As their minds are to busy groomin ghosts of their past Walking on stilts to rise way above The gossip to them is a push and a shove Knocking you down a bit at a time.
It makes them feel better getting past no self love Their darks a bit brighter when they push and they shove
They haven't a clue of what they don't see Defence at work keeping truth held at bay~

About this poem:
In conversation, a friend mentioned to me about writing along the line of how people can be so harsh to others through bullying, gossiping and just plain disrespect and or jealousy of others.
Hey, I'm still trying to get over Melt My Ice...and now this. Melt My Ice..I can't tell you how many times I have read that poem and didn't comment on it, but I will now. Just got out of the shower, have a towel wrapped around me...and wish I could be invited to participate in a ice melting ceremony.
ty Schawalski, I had to walk away from the write for awhile in order for the title to come to me on this. Suiting it is for sure, cheers and gald you enjoyed it

Hi Bentlee, gossip is the sure way to destroy someones being. keep in mind tho it comes from mean spirited, usually jelouse ppl with no life of their own, consider the source and dissmiss.:
