As If They Understand

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer was the valuable piece of advice that was given to me by a wise old friend. I guess it was because he felt that i am being too nice to my friends and for some friends it is just not worth it being too nice to them for they wouldn't appreciate the good treatment .

However, i have always believed in the spirit of forgiveness and tolerance. I am not able to forgive and forget , no it takes a saint to do that but i am able to forgive and tolerate . Yea have been doing it for a while. I have friends who truly understands me and i have friends who think that they understand and pretend to take interest in my hobbies and passion but we all know it for a fact that they don't give a damn.

Take these friends of mine for instance. A bunch of people who claimed that they know me but they claimed that i write poems to impress the opposite sex which is so not me.

I guess they got that idea stucked in their shallow heads due to the fact that there was a point in my past that i would send poems to random people that i barely know online . I guess i just love to write and it feels good to receive feedbacks from people be it positive or constructive feedbacks for it shows that they actually read my work.I used to enjoy sending poems to guys and girls especially those strangers or friends of my friends for i would like to know their perception of my work without having to know me.

My passion was interpreted in a wrong way and news were spread that i compose poems only for girls and i send poems to random girls out of the blue which sounded extremely ridiculous to my ears. My friends find it hard to believe that i do share my poems with other guys as well.It is true that i share more poems with girls rather than guys because most of the dudes within my circle of friends feel that writing poems isn't manly or isn't cool instead its lame and emo and they come up with all sorts of ridiculous comments making fun of my passion towards writing and dancing.

If one pretend to seem interested but later on picked on your passion which you're so serious about as a subject of mockery , would you want to share any of your ideas or work with that person? imagine having to love dancing and as you have invested time to explain to your friends about dancing they feel that dancing is a gay sport, would you bother explaining any further?
So as my friends asked me the reason i have never write poems for them or to them well isn't it obvious by now ??
