The way I am

The way I am

The truth about you, the hardest thing to hear,

When you know their right.

Deny it all you like my man,

Like a bird, that cant take to flight.

You want to spread your wings and fly,

Be in another place,

You can’t hide the one you have,

We each have just one face.

Lucky for you, can be used as a mask,

To hide the fear behind your eyes,

What those mistake for the sun.

Is clearly darker skies.

I guess life chose me,

Not the other way about.

Still have no idea,

When a whisper is a shout.

I always give my best,

Make sure I do it well,

I am a rock to lesser souls,

Hide my heart and use my shell.

I guess we don’t really know,

The answers burn deep inside.

I try to play an honest game,

No regrets to hide.

Lets get it right, we’re just passers by,

In our world where we all live.

Do your best to make a life,

Take a little less than what you give.

I think if we all did that,

The world won’t seem so tough,

Like a wise man once said,

All you need is love.

Thanks Cherie, I wrote this a few years ago. Going through my old work to see if there is anything worth sharing. Only checked a few poems so far and I surprised myself with the contents. Not too shabby.
