Voices of my friends

I hear it.

Voices of my own

I fear it.

I'm living my life on an unbalanced ladder

hoping that I will be a somebody.

A tongue is sharp and can kill,

A spirit of mine that is always ill.

Friends... my friends where are you

I am alone do you feel that way too?

Thank you for your support. Short but meaningful poems tend to reach my emotions. I love how you can relate to me too. (:
