PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So maybe I cry too much.

Maybe I fall down.

Fail to live to the expectation.

I never said I was perfect.

Clearly my reflection shows a tortured exterior.



Never said I was everything you wanted.

Never promised you happiness.

Never understood your ways.

Still don't get why you like me.



It was good,

But those moments were fleeting.



It’s all I held onto.

Prayed the next day would bring those moments back.



A second try?

I don't know?

Have we changed all that much.



I've certainly learned from my mistakes.

I certainly miss the comfort of someone close.



But I don't want to give into something,

Just to have arms around me.



If I was guarded before,

I'm impenetrable now.

Break down my defenses.

Or die upon the rocks at my walls.



My heart is that much harder to get.

If you’re willing to fight,

I’m willing to give you the shot.



But be warned I’m not your expectations,

I'm not everyone else.

And I make no claim to be.



If you want the generic,

The cookie cutter guy,

Then turn away,

Cause I’m nothing like that.



And if your going to knock my flaws.

Laugh at what’s different,

Then you can laugh yourself out the door.



No longer here to put up with others ideals.

This is who I am.

I am me.



There is no simple explanation for who I am,

For what I like.

Just know that I’m here.

And I’m ever changing,

And ever the same.



I won’t make the same mistakes,

But there are a million new ones to fall into.



Can you put up with the antics?

Can you deal with the differences?

Handle the fact that I’ll never be everything you want.

Can you adapt?



Can you understand my point of view?

Are will you ever be forcing yours on me.



This time I won’t put up with it.

No time for a fight every week,

No time to get worked up over every sentence.



No time for games.

And I’ll admit I played my fair share.



I just need to know that someone’s going to be there,

That they care enough to show it.

Not just when it’s convenient.



So those are the questions I ask of you?

Can you honestly say yes?

Honestly not worry.



Because if that’s the case,

Then its time to give it another go.



If not then neither of us has changed,

And we need to go on our separate ways,

And find the guy who fills the needs.
