Friends vs Family

by Roxiee An   Oct 13, 2007


Hey! Look at my great friends
They are the one who understand us
The ones who would listen to us all day long
Being with us when we go out to the movie
Talking about our love and romance stories
Giving us advice on every problem we have
They just make us feel special for what we are

Yeah I also got a weird family
They never get to understand my feelings
Willing just to impose their dictatorship rulings
We feel the gravity of the generation gap
They seem to be interfering and questioning
Always imagining their lost dreams in our life
We are not meant to do what they couldnt do

But both of them ruin our feelings at time
We expect them from our family
But we trusted our friends
They always stab in the back
They just seem to be on some terms

On the other hands, my parents
are the one who wake all night
when I get a slight fever
saying everything on our face
working day and night to earn for us
never willing to ask for help
they fight every problem on their own
I surely know, their life is ours but can you
Say the same for a friend you have?

I know that I will love being among my friends
But it is just for a while till I'm worth it
I just wont ever cope with my family
But be it, they make me sad, they make me sweat
I am sure they wont ever change
And be their for me in every season of my life
Not like those who just come, sit and fly

I pray to God that we get to understand each other
We get to be good friends sharing our love
cos they are the ones who know us from "9 months before"
and still proclaiming that "My child is the best"

******************************************************
Seriously I have accepted both but most of the people
especially in the "independent culture" type, ruin their life tryin to be social enough
Well its just my advice, it wont matter a hair to me
But if you think about it, you will know what is true

    I like this poem more than the other, especially this line:

    We feel the gravity of the generation gap.

    That line definitely has an impact on the reader.
    Still, though, it seems to be missing the rhythm most poems need in order to be truly influential. Not bad, though... not bad at all.

    Wow... Another one deep and amazing poem from you. Your subjects for writing are original and you have a great way with words. You managed to say so much without losing the reader attention through the poem, and that is a great thing. This piece is very touching in so many ways, also very true.
