What Is It? Poem by Brittany Thompson

The people who surround me are such a disgrace,
Don't want to see me succeed, but want to be all in my face,

Don't want to see me up,
only midway or down,

Don't want to see me smile, NO,
Only a strait face or frown,

Give a person power and their true intentions will win,
I put you in that position and like flying colors..
They did

You'd take from the poor, when you know i ain't got,
you'd twist my business to make me seem like something I'm not,

You take my fails and gossip like you all did years ago,
I'm now just finding out things that were said years ago,

What are your true intentions? ! cause i don't know,
Everything is good when I'm under but when I'm over they start to show,


Are you my Family or NOT? !
Are you my Friend or NOT? ! ,
This cycle is nonstop of back and forth
Do you love me or not? !
Do you care or not? !
Because I'm not with this back and Forth

One minute we're blood and my understanding is no blur,
The next you stab me in the back as if we never were,

The word family now a days is just a word,
Blood really isn't thicker than water is what i heard,

But like the sky's are blue and the children play,
When I'm in need, You're there at the end of the day,

And when I was hungry and nobody else could,
You stopped by the store and brung what you could,

And when I was in jail 1,000 posted for bail,
Your ship was the first soul to set for sail,

When your friends aren't there, family is
When your Family isn't there , God is

Do you understand my confusion? my emotions abandoned,
All is good and then you told her to leave me stranded,

The bipolarness of this Family needs an intervention,
But even if you say it,
I'll never know your true intention.
