I can only be me

Leslie St Germain

I can only be me,
I cannot be a fill in for another image you see
I have been patient, loving and kind
I have thought about what I have
to offer, is it enough, will it be
good enough?
You hold a grudge and find it hard to forgive me
I promised you with a poem
you really could have cared less
Too many words and not enough action
so I changed how I treated you
and stopped judging you
and the whole time I was doing as I said I would
you were not even really listening
I can only be me if that is not what you see.
Please be kind and let me know
