    Poem Commentary

    This poem is about a friendship gone bitter

    Fools

    This was us

    I guess 7 long years wasn’t enough

    For you to trust in me

    Believe what you want

    Because this was not my fault, no

    I won’t hold you on my shoulders anymore

     

    But I miss the way

    We used to be sister

    Running down the street

    With the force of a twister

    We had it all

    We ruled the world

     

    This is you

    Trying to move

    On with your life

    Without me by your side

    Well I can’t stand how you chose

    To look away from the truth

     

    But I miss the way

    We used to be free

    Believing in things

    With the HOPE of forever

    Never thought we would fall

    What fools we were

     

    This is me

    Trying to believe

    What I’m telling myself

    I don’t need you

    And it’s time to move

    On to something else

    Because 7 long years just wasn’t enough

    For you to trust me

    So set me free

     

    Free from the memories

    Of me and you

    Free from the things that keep you close

     

    I hope you’re happy

    I hope you believe in something

    Bigger than me

    I hope that it’s sunny

    And you can spread your wings

     

    We never thought we would fall

    We never thought we’d be torn a part

    What fools we were

    I've lost a good amount of friends who I called sisters and brothers at one point. & that's what this reminds me of. It was sad but I enjoyed how you turn into something hopeful. Good work!

    Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. And you are correct. A lost friendship is exactly what this poem was the result of. As difficult as a breakup between a couple can be, I think in some ways, the break up of a frienship can be even more difficult. I have found that at some point you need to let go of the hurt, wish the other person well and let go.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
