I Am But A Mere Woman

Folder: 
Depression Poems

I am not your whore

To fall succeptible at your feet

Grovelling intensely

Like a rabid animal in heat



I am not your muse

To show you all

To bring you to life

Or to lead you to fall



I am not your mind

So I cannot win

I cannot make you believe

The beauty within

Nor can I tell you

That I hurt inside

I am but a woman

Not a man, not a guide



I am not your lover

Who can be so perfectly for you

I fall incredibly short

And hope you'll know this is true

I hope you'll embrace me

And smile away the tears

For I have eternal ones

Lasting now and for years



I am not your everything

No matter how much you tell me

I know I cannot be this woman

Who brings everything for you to be



I am but a woman

Made of this flesh and this heart

I am but a woman

Hold me so I will not fall apart...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this on a night where I could not sleep (one of many, mind you) about my man and how he relies on me to make everything better.  I want him to just realize... I'm merely a woman, and i'm not perfect.
