It's hard to love

Contributed by carmen_queasy on Wednesday, 7th July 2004 @ 11:09:32 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



I know that sometimes when you look at me
That I represent everything that disappoints you
That I weren’t who you wanted me to be
That I couldn’t make you proud
I know that I sometimes cause you shame
That you don’t want to look at me
That maybe I make you sick, make you cry
And sometimes I forget how to try

But I’ll never apologise for it
Not to you

I know that sometimes you can’t look me in the eye
That you hate the way I treat myself
That it hurts you to see me hurting
That this vicious cycle never ends
I know that sometimes you consider me a mistake
That I wasn’t exactly what you wanted
That I couldn’t make you as happy as maybe you’d want to be
And that somehow I was what went wrong

But I’ll never apologise for it
Not to you
Never to me

I know that sometimes you get angry at me
But deep down I truly love you
And I know sometimes you find it hard to love me
And this tough, independent exterior I have is now
Something I will finally deny
I know that i'm not easy to love, but could you please try?

Wow, this is a great write, I thought of parents when I read this.... Please don't depend on anyone else to love you, you can give yourself the love you need, then you'll find others love......It is hard, but nothing worth having is easy.

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. ©
