I’m laid back, thoughtful and a little bit strange.
I write poetry for fun, and to let my feelings out,
It’s either that or scream and shout.

I smoke too much and really should quit,
I’m never very popular or a really big hit.
My relationships end badly, mostly my fault,
Because I don’t let people, in to my inner vault.

I’m not a perfect person; there are many things I do wrong,
I should look after myself more, I would never look good in a thong.
I have to laugh at myself, otherwise I might cry,
But I am who I am, and will be till the day I die.

Maybe a good woman can change me, but I’ve yet to find one,
Every time I thought I had, I just end up getting done.
I’m content to accept my faults, and for now to let them be,
I see no need to be someone I’m not, I’m just me.

You are too hard on yourself. From earlier writings you are a good friend and from your writing you are a great poet who is not afraid to experiment outside the comfort zone. The kind of guy I'd like to meet and proud to call my friend. Nice write Dave, - - Alistair

The last line of the second verse belies that poetry is "the window of one's soul." Though ya may deny it, we appreciate the peek. Nice write with a good capture of, "Hey, I'm just me."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
