PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's like walking on a tightrope

talking to other people

always trying to be sure

I don't say the wrong thing

I want you all to like me

so I kiss your ass

If I were truly honest

you might think

I have no class

what do I really have to lose?

If you don't like the true me

than what the hell is it all worth?

I want real relationships

I want to see your souls

and I want you to see mine too

Look into my eyes

don't turn away

if we look long enough

our essence will be clear...

visible...

true...

Oh... but that is vulnerable

I know...

too vulnerable for most of us to feel

but don't worry

I'll not hurt you

not now... 

not in this moment

so long as we are really connected

I know that you ARE me

and you will know that I AM you

if you can stay connected to me 

for long enough...

it's the only way for me

for us both to connect equally

because if you don't play too

my jaw will clench up

the nervous smile will shine through

and then there's the laugh

that will come too

but if we both stay still

connected through our eyes

softly connected

we'll both realize 

the beauty in each other

the beauty in ourselves

so let us stay connected

for this will be TRUE wealth
