changes

what happened?

to all the people
I felt i used to know

yes inwardly you are the same
but outwardly
whoa!
what happened?
and I know it's the inside that counts
but the outside has it's value too

after all, didn't the color of people's skin
cause a war to be fought
a horrible war that pitted brother against brother
friend against friend

what a person looks like on the outside
seperates everyone and everything
cause people to lable
and to judge you

i know i've changed too
but really
the reason makes all the difference

i mean,
i don't really care
as long as you are still my friends
but it hurts to know that everyone around you
is changing
being seen a different way
knowing you are too
and not knowing
in what new way
people now view you

i wish we could all be vampires
and read eachother's minds
because i hate! not knowing
speculating
not knowing what to do
unsure
insecure
not knowing if your friends
are truly your friends
or not
what people say about you,
behind your back
i hate it
i hate relationships
both romantic
and just friendship
don't worry
i'm not saying i hate my friends
i just hate not knowing

i'm sorry if you totally don't get what i'm talking about
but it's hard to get across what i mean
without making everyone think
that i hate them
which i totally don't (btw)
