Some People


Some people go through life hoping for more

Some people just think of life as a bore

Some people kid and joke

Some people complain about being broke

 

Some people joke and giggle

Some people try to be civil

Some people push and tease

Some people fall to their knees

 

Some people don't see the pain they cause

Some people wish life would pause

I feel the hurt and I know the pain

I feel the criticism and wonder how I'm sane

 

They press on and on

Secretly hoping you were gone

One day you disappear

Your antagonist contemplates in fear

 

Did they cause your life evacuation

Maybe someone forgot to mention

Some people can't handle others actions

Some people choose unerasable reactions
