Poems

People These Days

I feel that these days,

People are insane

Everywhere I look, I see

People dying to be skinny

People who are plastic,

People who are dolls.

People these days are losing their minds

Banging their heads against their walls.

People these days

Try to change who they are

People judge you, nowadays,

On if you drive a nice car.

They judge you on your looks,

And how many expensive things you own

People don't talk anymore

They just stare at the screens of their phones.

People these days are rude as can be

And they're getting meaner, too.

Sometimes it's hard to remind myself

To be cheerful, and not so blue.

I like to be the person

Who can smile when things are bad.

I want to be the friend

Who cheers you up when you are sad.

I love being the person

Who lifts you up when you are down.

I love being the person

Who gets a smile from a frown.

I love to be the person

Who looks on the brighter side of life.

I love making people smile and laugh

Through the struggles and the strife.
