PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I slip this skin as I slip around the room

Hoping to avoid your glare

I don’t want to see you look at me again

With all that disappointment in your face

I’m sorry I’m not all that you want

I’m sorry I’m not all that you deserve

I tried to be the man that you always deserved to have

But hey – I’m just me.



I’ll walk away from here tonight

Leaving behind you

Leaving behind me

In search of a God who won’t hurt me as much

As I’ve made you hurt me.



Somewhere out on the horizons

Lies a future I could never see

It’s a future you’ve been pushing me towards

And a future that I’ll never be.
