F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

true
i like to stay quiet
in a dark corner
doing things by myself
but
it doesn't mean i'm a loner
unattached
to my peers
sure
sometimes i'd be glad to do just that
but other times
it's just
i need them
bliss is not ALWAYS
about ignorance
it's also
about
being involved
though there's always risk
of being
miffed
hurted
mocked
but life itself is a gamble
why not just as well
gamble on everything?

when i was small
friends are VERY important
i felt as if i cant live without them
then
i had to move a lot
from THE area to THAT area
from THAT area to THIS area

and friends are lost
and i was hurt

that's when i decided
to change
still, i appreciate companions
but i dare not looking at them
with the look
i used to use long ago

because i'm afraid of being hurt
and hurting others
though i know
i'm always doing just that
inevitably
at times words and actions just flow out
without me rationalizing it just yet

separated yet united
go figure

sincerely mine,

mint
