Another Round
Selfless
Watered down confidenceÂ
Triple shot of emotionsÂ
Love pours outÂ
just as quickly as it isÂ
washed down ....draftÂ
Uncertain my true place in lifeÂ
amidst a big menuÂ
Somedays I’m wantedÂ
other days I’m hatedÂ
Some people take me straightÂ
others want just a part of meÂ
I seem to adapt like it’s easy
but deep down insideÂ
I want them to want meÂ
for who I am, the good, bad andÂ
UGLY
This isn’t a pitcher perfectÂ
comparison but I hope you can see the parallelsÂ
My glass isn’t always half fullÂ
after many years of past painÂ
Some raise me high and decideÂ
to celebrate making a cheersÂ
Some rely on me to just be their medicine to dilute their fearsÂ
I can be average and truly mediocre however not opposed to dressing up , white linen cloths cover the tables, big fancy light fixtures and romantic music .... special occasionÂ
However it seems most want me in the darker form, true hole in the wall, dim lighted , sticky bar amidst others that can make them feel better rather than change
Maybe one day I’ll be beside her and she will see my true value and TOGETHER we will enjoy each others companyÂ
TOGETHER, we will both respect one anotherÂ
TOGETHER, we will not treat each-other like an item and for once we will be doing the ordering TOGETHER, of a life we both desire, TOGETHER
My future loveÂ

wonderful poem
Rob or reborn
how every you
want to be calledÂ
When a caterpillar transitions into a butterfly , do you still call it a caterpillar?Â
Or a seed transforms into a fruit or vegetable , do you call it a seed still ?Â
A newborn quickly grows into a toddler and from there to a big kid , but are they still a baby ?
If a sinner repents and begs for forgiveness do you still point fingers shouting “sinner”Â
Call me whatever you want Greg as they are just words however that’s not who I am nor what I want to be called or my profile name would say it .Â
My therapist led to me deleting all my old work because it is damaging to who I want to become and grow into .Â
Jim and I knew from the start and we welcome you back! Glad to have you back! Looking forward to reading your new work. Reinventing ourselves is an awesome and spiritually invigorating experience! Peace to you on your journey, Shallow Waters!
Thanks Max , much appreciated and the love is felt 👊🏻
Its awesome to be yourself and not change yourself based on the views and opinions of others. Stand for what you believe in! I think all poets can agree in that regard. Enjoyed the write.
Thank you , it’s important to know your worth and my old identity was a bad influence on my needed changes . This transition has been a full time job for over a year and half now . I think everyone will appreciate my new work more and that website I was telling you about I looked back at in my emails it was called : allpoetryÂ
Lovely to know you are back. Sometimes we need to give ourselves some space, take a breath and maybe self check ourself worth. You have worth and your Poetry always speaks out. I hope you are feeling happier in your skin. That is all anyone wants for you x
Thanks GwendolineÂ
