Do Not Believe

[Johnny Kendall]

Do not believe
When they tell you they'll be there
Because that's exactly when they turn away

Do not believe
When they tell you they'll hold you
Because that's exactly when they'll hide their arms

Do not believe
When they tell you they'll help you
Because right at that moment they won't hear your screams

Do not believe
When they tell you they love you
Because that's exactly what you want to hear
Even though you know they will look away

Do not believe
Because they're not your friends
And right there no one pretends

This is for you Mrs. Dunn

Sorry Johnny. What do you believe? Who's Ms. Dunn? I hope you find the answer you're looking for. Your work, *poem* is okay. It looks more like a journal entry.
