Don't take this the wrong way
I still want to be with you
I can't imagine myself without you
But you have to stop running from the truth
You're a bit of a bitch
It's true,
I've seen your cruel streak and it's
undeniable.
The things you say to people
and do to people
is wrong
You put on this front for everyone
As if you're some nice person
that everyone likes
you always have to provide the answers
for everything
You pretend that you're so much more
enlightened
than anyone else
Advice guru for everything
But i know the truth
I don't think you really like
hardly anyone
You like to look good for people
Impress people for your own benefit
But at the end of the day
No one is really close to you
So drop the front
If you're going to bitch
Then be real
Stop pretending to be friends with people
When you know you'll just turn around
And talk shit about them behind their backs
People prefer the enemy they can see
More so then the one they can't
Drop the front
And be honest with yourself
I'll know if you haven't changed
So don't lie about it
After all
We are one and the same...

I think we all know people as described in the first couple of stanzas in this poem.
I really like what you've done with this. You've definitely vented. Told that someone exactly what you thought of them..
Here's a hard hitting stanza..
But i know the truth
I don't think you really like
hardly anyone
You like to look good for people
Impress people for your own benefit
But at the end of the day
No one is really close to you
Makes me wonder how many people say that about me...!
Here's a good line...
People prefer the enemy they can see
More so then the one they can't
How true is that???
Oooh, that last line gave me the goosebumps!
Like, you're actually talking about yourself!
OMG... That was awesome. An angle I did not see coming! -
agonising, beautifully penned in persasive style

-
wow. that's exactly how i feel about someone
awesome poem. -
Oooh, ouch! This is a really well-done description of a person we ALL know! And how we'd like her to come clean, be real... the final line is also a great punchline -- we know her so well because she is "us"! Excellent images, great conversational tone, striking and powerful.
