I Know Loneliness

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013 with permission of the Author.

I know all about my ABC's and 123's,
but I don't know how to just be me.
I know I have a heart,
but I don't know why it's so easily ripped apart.
I know that life may sometimes be hard,
but I don't know why I look like a big tub of lard.
I know how to not get burnt,
but I don't know how to not get hurt.
I know I have to work on happiness and pride,
but I don't know if my friends will always be by my side.
I know it is a sin to lie,
but I don't know how to see happy people and not cry.
I know people think I'm gorgeous in-and-out side,
but I don't know have to not call it a lie.
I guess it's time to go with the flow.
Because sometimes I just don't know.
