Eavesdropping
It wasn't done on purpose
I never hid
I never heard others knowingly
I never did
They talked in a kind of way
Like they wanted me to hear
Intended to make it seem normal
Ended up sounding very queer
Was it me or them?
Who was filled with fears
It was me whose mind was in turmoil
But they were the one shedding tears
They were talking about a crazy guy
Who locked them where nobody sees
Everyone of them tired
But nobody ever found the keys
Isn' it quite funny?
How my friends fantasize
Living their lives in imagination
Letting out their whimpry cries
They say I am the crazy one
But that's what they are
They don't even want to have fun together
They seem really far
I might be sounding really evil
But what else can I do
I hope that you will understand me
Because that is so you
Look, you are a really good friend
Even though you were paid
But you can't buy friends
That's what my mommy said
Don't worry, at least it wasn't
Done on purpose
And I never hid
I never heard others knowingly
I never did
About this poem
It's about a person who is in search of real friends.
