Breathing is what it takes <br />Courage, definately. <br />But look once more at those faces <br />Those 'friends'. <br />Is their talk tempting now? <br />Is it killing you to not join in laughter <br />At someone else's expense? <br />Not now. Not for a long time. <br />Because, soon, conversation is strained <br />And this friendship is not as beautiful <br />As it once was. <br />You are beginning to see it now; <br />The shifty glances, the brutality in causing someone pain, <br />Thinking they are superior in their ways. <br />It is sad when some refuse to walk in the way of good people, <br />And a tragedy to refuse after having walked in it. <br />But this moment, right now? <br />This is only Phase I, <br />The beginning and continuing of transition.<br /><br />Cerulean Celyn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phase-i/
