I was going through some stuff of mine and I found this poem I wrote a long time ago and I wanted to share it.

Untitled Poem

by Nadir Morgan

People come and go in our lives

everyday is a new interaction.

It's the ones we care for that bring us satisfaction.

When you look into someone's eyes

and know you have a friend for life,

but then they switch up like reciprocals and get smaller than fractions.

You can be the best possible friend ever

help them accomplish any endeavor,

yet they still take advantage.

I'm beginning to think they think their clever,

leaving me in the cold with no sweater,

cuts wide open with no bandage.

I may be young, but I'm wise for my age

and I know life is a book I just keep on turning the page.

To look outside and see so much hate and rage

like people's emotions are just locked in a cage.

I may be young, but I know a lot of things.

Friendship and happiness are precious like diamond rings,

Joy isn't a currency but it can buy all kinds of things,

it helped everyone in our nation, not only Dr. King had a dream.

These are wise words from a 12 year old boy,

who has lots of hopes, and a bunch of Joy.
