Love And War

By Laura Marie Wingate

I am feeling lost, alone

That no one understands

They think I’m rude and stupid

That I have selfish plans

I have a different outlook

I’m reaching for the skies

I see myself as pure

But others think it’s lies

I find it strange and worrying

That they can’t comprehend

Love, honesty, benevolence

Is really all I send

Are people so self-righteous

So self indulged and blind

That they can’t believe a person

Can be so giving and so kind

If only people realised

That I’m as perfect as I can 

I’m not rude or stupid

That I’ve an altruistic plan

I have a different outlook

I’m reaching for the skies

But I’m doing it for others

And I’m never telling lies

It’s not that I am stupid

I’m just wise for my years

It’s not that I am rude, I’m

Just blunt with truth and fears

I don’t like to bullshit, 

Or beat around the bush

I don’t like manipulation

To criticize or push

Though I’m getting really tired 

Of being ridiculed

Yes I am quite different

But it won’t make me yield

I am strong and steadfast

A pilgrim to the end

I will do what ever it takes

To fight for love my friend
