PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I guess I was over trying,

I cared way too much about how

you were being treated.

I actually ended up shorting myself. 

Everything I said or did, 

was to try to make you feel comfortable.

I guess that fell short too. 

I should have been myself 

and then let you judge me 

overall. 

I just wanted to be likable.

But there's not much to like,

if I'm not being myself.

I was too timid,

I was too sharp.

I never showed you me.

I guess I didn't warm up 

to you like I thought.

I never joked, or teased, 

or made you laugh.

I was too serious.

Ironically I am hardly serious, 

except with you. 

I wish you had a chance to

see the humorous side of me.
