People Say Poem by Joshua Hillard

People say the world forever,
But it never comes true,
It’s a lie in the making,
The subordinate word to hold onto you,

People say the word promise,
To only be used in vain,
Sworn up and down to never be broken,
Yet you are left to swallow the pain,

People say the word believe,
It makes you feel secure,
But down the road you see you’re wrong,
Believing something that wasn’t sure,

People say the word hurt,
To leave you guilt stricken on the floor,
Tossed around to make you suffer,
Only to keep pounding at your own door,

People say the word forgive,
You never know if they mean it,
It leaves you thinking; believing a joke,
What you know in reality it’s bullshit,

People say the word love,
The strongest word anyone could say,
A word that makes your life feel complete,
Be you TELL ME what to do when all of this is taken away!
