I turn right,
The world turns left,
I turn left,
The world turns right,
Since I am the magnet that can attract nothing,
Only a piece of lint,
Floating in the autumn's crispy breeze.

"Me" I find to define as "MEaningless",
People I call friends come and go when they please,
As if I was a toilet,
Since I'm usually flushed down those nasty drains anyway,
Mainly when I hear a new rumor,
Or insult,
Don't worry I know you said it,
So you can come to my face,
I won't bite,
Oh of course you won't,
Because so what?
According to your gossip,
Nobody likes me anyway.

I love how honest and true this was, and I can really relate to you. Haha, maybe we should E-mail, or something sometime. I dont have good internet, so texting would be the easiest if you just want someone to listen. *smile* I have some work on here you might like, rate and comment if you wish. :)

This is awesome!! My heart really goes out to you, since for whatever reason most (if not all) of my friendships end in disaster too.

Thank you! The poem kind of got messed up. The line was supposed to be "Me" I find to define as "MEaningless". I guess they substitute the quotes into those weird things.

Wow, this is good! you have a talent for free verse. I have tried a million times, but I can't get the hang of poerty that dosen't rhyme. Just not my style, I guess. But your good at it! Great job! Do you think you can comment/rate a poem of mine called "Read Me"? It isn't as good as this, but I think you might like it.
