True colors

Newcastle is a small town and people love nothing more than instigating

Madam – It seems like people today don’t understand what the word ‘friendship’ and ‘loyalty’ mean.

A few weeks ago I discovered a supposed ‘friend’ had been spreading hurtful and untrue rumours about me. Newcastle is a small town and people love nothing more than instigating – I think this is evident with all the Facebook pages that are supposed to promote buying and selling, yet allowing people to whine and moan instead.

Don’t people have anything better to do? Is your lives really that boring?

I want to share a poem with you, and I hope those who don’t think twice about hurting those who care for them will take note:

True Colors

It will never be the same

Feel the intruding lead

That hangs my head in pain

The drainage not on my hands

But flows down my back

It was only in the sands

Where you planned your attack

Executed without flaws

With no issue at hand

You dug deep with your claws

Into a faceless land

Your face full of lies

When you greet me at that place

I see through your disguise

And reject your embrace

The wound you try to heal

Is now a gaping maw

Your words can never conceal

The true colors I saw…” – Bryan P. Mix
