Trying to be nice to someone,
doesn't really matter,
they throw your sympathy on the floor,
then your humanity begins to shatter.
Having kind words to say,
seems the civilized thing to do,
but it's like trying to open a door,
when they just won't let you through.
Empathy is only natural,
when similar states exist,
you offer your services,
but the opportunity is missed.
We're all angels with one wing,
we need each other to fly,
it's just music when you refuse to sing,
like it's pointless when you refuse to try.
Offered services seem to stink,
it's suspicious when offered for nothing,
is there an ulterior motive you think,
or you wonder if they're bluffing.
You lay your heart upon the line,
and seek to offer advice,
but the recipient just wants to whine,
while your heart they gladly slice.
You try your best to be a friend,
and offer your loyal hand,
but the beginning seems to be the end,
the reason why you don't understand.
Being nice just is not cool,
when it's thrown back in your face,
it makes you seem like a fool,
and your hope and trust misplaced.
Some people don't know when they're better off,
when a hand stretches out of the blue,
they sneer and just want to scoff,
then turn their back on you.
So why should I be a giver,
when all the world just takes,
the thought just makes me shiver,
at their obvious mistakes.

About this poem:
This is a poem I wrote regarding being nice to people I guess being nice can be a waste of time, sort of discouraging reaching out when I have so much to give.

Doing this for you
my friend gives me
satisfaction until
the end.
Helping you makes
me at peace with
myself.
I want to lift you
up and thank you for
our friendship which
has lasted through
out the many years.
For this we must of
done something right
for it to last this
long my friend.
I say thank you for
years of friendship.

On summer day good bye
All my friends shall wave
On summer day good bye
All my friends shall wave.
And there is no body to comfort my soul
I paddle my own canoe.

Lonely
Longing for another
just a friend.
who would pal
around with me.
A friend who could
help this darkness
and loneliness
disappear.
Replacing it with
the fellowship of
my church family
and friends i wish
to find.
Someone who backs
me and is always
there for me.
Someone whom I am
always there for
and back them too.
I want a real true
blue friend that
we can find a
friendship that is
truly divine.

Rays of light pierce thy skin like peppermint sticks through orange peels,
A dark time has cloudy judgement upon the righteous soul,
Pushing deeper into a tail spin of desperation: falling at fail.
Message is sent, living sighs of joy; the heart is free and hungry.
Conversation, adjusted frequencies echo the oncoming thrill ride.
Hour and the seventh minute, one touches the thread invisible.
Thoughts transfer into ideas equally believed, humour erupts,
Causing mass attractions, topping off at a kosher 5'9", honor'd company.
Stimulating telepathy into reality, a powerful yet soft voice, speaks the truth.
Individual audience, beckons the next speech: will it come soon.
The code is password to a free spirit 3 times a willow tree,
Adding more structure to damaged faith, one recognizes chances.
Where ,once, hope swam shallow, fills with confidence,
Eager to welcome a new friend.
Counting down the days to Midnight Sun.

A vision within a vision of a dream,
The 12th hour and one minute later sets into reality.
Enchanted, sweet words wake the soul,
Echoing one memorable week;one's attention says "hi".
Half blurred, wide open, realization speaks truth,
Justly Assumes Exact Memory Conceived.
Mental rejoice embarks a good morning,
Cherished heart embraces the words.
Digitally flattened sent miles away,
One has not forgotten a picture of that one, is only human.
Mistakes can be hurtful, apologies can be accepted,
Forgiveness uncertain, thick waters collide,
Steps my direction, stumbling at the door.
Miss U2, trails equal sign plus this item ")".
Healing the wound, self inflicted in thirty two passings.
Off track and in love one suffers sweet dreams,
That one has the power of one's inner sanctuary.

remembering the way
your blue eyes shine
in the moon light

a pen in need
is a friend indeed
in which you keep
inspiration so deep
a friend with a pen
from one to ten
ill give you a totem
to keep you safe
