PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Let's just say I read minds,

That may make things less complcated.

There's no way I can be what you want,

And I'm getting quite irritated.

I'm doin the best that I frickin know how,

I can't make you promises,

Whether you know it or not, I want something,

Pay attention or you'll miss this.

Can't you see it in my eyes?

I'm not that well.

I've grown too weak to hold myself up,

You're the only one I've had the nerve to tell.

My eyes have grown weak, my mind is in pain,

The doctors said I was ok, they're all liars.

But what they can't see is,

My heart has grown tired.

I'm tired of waiting, watching, wondering,

I'm tired of preparing myself to be hurt.

I just want you to accept me for who I am,

Don't want to have to wait until they lay me in the dirt.
