PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have re written this,

the mind has rewrote

many more times.

The flaws I have,

the weakness in me.

The things I truly hate about myself

and trying to change.

And I ask why?

Does it really make

a difference to anyone else?

Granted stupidity is contagious,

but the issues I try to resolve

are on the inside.

The outside is far worse.

The advertisement couldn't

sell sand to a man in the middle

of the Sahara Desert.

But here I am.

The same jagged and unkept

guy who stands here.

I can't say I have everything worked out,

I don't have the qualities one looks for,

the wants that are "requirements" thse days.

I am not that calendar guy,

no smooth moves,

nothing that remotely says

I am sought after.

I often think about the

guys who do have what is

being sought.

Many do not have those

secondary qualities,

the ones that matter more.

I guess once they like what's

on the outside,

the inside no longer matters.

It's a shame really,

since I always felt I had

the unseen goods.

Maybe one day,

someone will take that chance,

until then the advetisment

stays the same.
