\"Wake up with a positive attitude, go to bed with a positive attitude.\"


We’re walkin’ round in circles
A game of truth or dare
And I can’t seem to notice
We’re not gettin’ anywhere


You say you’re right
I think you’re wrong
The clock is ticking on and on
I try to build a passage through
But nothing comes across to you


The days keep chasing ‘way the sun
I fear my ignorance has died
You shot it with that spiteful gun
And killed it when you lied


We’re walkin’ round in circles
A game of truth or dare
And I can’t seem to notice
We’re not gettin’ anywhere


I try to show my point of view
But everything is you, you, you
It’s so conceited, so unfair
Your arrogance is my despair

Sympathy, my special treasure
Doesn’t grace your stingy soul
Money, fame, friends for pleasure
Can you keep it in control?


We’re walkin’ round in circles
A game of truth or dare
And I can’t seem to notice
We’re not gettin’ anywhere


Blinded by pompous fantasies
Tangled in yourself
Fail to see reality
In your world of wealth


I try to show my point of view
But everything is you, you, you
It’s so conceited, so unfair
Your arrogance is my despair

This poem reflects my own personal experience with a friend who was so caught up in their own affairs that they couldn't notice the other people around them, and thus our friendship slowly deteriorated.
