Poem for the day!

Thought I'd post a poem today. My short stories will come soon. But today, I thought I'd post something to get my blog on a roll. Everyone should note, that most of my poetry is quirky and generally tongue in cheek - not the boring old shit you got at GCSE English.

So here is my poem: 'Not Lonely... Just alone'

Nobody is lonely,
Everyone is alone.
You are all my friends,
But I like it on my own.

If you don't know me well -
Don't pretend you do.
Don't start suggesting things
That I would like too,
You've only just met me,
So 'whoopee-doopy-doo'.

Just admit, it's what you
want to recommend,
Yes it's what you like,
But to me it might offend.
We both have very different tastes -
Why can't you comprehend?

Just because, with someone else,
I happened to have a chat,
It doesn't mean that, when you hear,
You can interpret it as fact.
Yes, it's true, it was about you,
Stop acting like a twat.

I speak honestly to different people
In many different ways.
The way I speak to them is different,
I'm sure it wont amaze.
Of course it might sound bad to you,
But to them it might be praise.

Black is not a colour and
White is an extreme.
Grey is in the middle ground,
Although it might not seem.
In a world where concepts rule,
Language reigns supreme.

'Philosophical problems arise'
With language on vacation.
There are variations between
All views and classification.
They go beyond the languages set,
By any single nation.

And don't tell me off
For not talking to you either.
You also do not talk to me,
I definitely need a breather.
I haven't forgotten that you exist
I'm just putting you in the freezer.

It's often good to have breaks
From you or anyone.
You should have more friends than me
And I have more than one.
So start to care about all the others,
Stop acting Aryan!
