Things I'll Never Be

Folder: 
Blah

I'll never be a tall man

To stand among a crowd

And not have to jump or reach

To see above the sea

Of other men around me.

I'll never be a handsome man

Like Brad, or Tom, or Matt

I'll never be your dreamy love

That you'd like to look at all day.

I'll never be a rich man

Who can fly you around the world

Or buy you all those gifts

You so want, and deserve.

I'll never be a creative man

Like Rob, or John, or Dave

(Especially Dave)

Who can sing you songs

Of just how much you mean.

In fact, I'll never be much of anything

To you or anyone else

But never ever will I ever

Be good enough for you

To deserve you

And be needed by you

And most of all

I'll never be

Loved.

It kind of blows up your world when you (once again) realize that you'll never be good enough for someone.....

oh come on, if you think that you aren't good enough for someone then hey...they miss out on the better things that you are. trust me...you're a real cool person and i'm sure you're good enough to deserve anyone that you want :^)

This is really sad. How do you know you'll never be any of those things? I think you need a friend. I want to be your friend. And you WILL be loved someday. You will be good enough for me. I'm going to email you right now, I want to talk about this. Great poem, though!
