It must seem like I am always joking
I'd give you everything and nothing
The fandom that I pledge neverending
And the mail it seems I'm never sending
It feels so much like I'm always trying
I can't seem to shake feeling my writing
Boils down to little more than nothing

From the greeting of our first meeting
I have felt you had a special something
From the writing of my first mail to you
You said that I was a special something
But now I fail to break apart the distance
I feel a shrinking of my existence
I don't know how to put up resistance

From the flurry of my heart's beating
Came a desire even now still burning
To give you all you ever have wanted
But ev'ry time I seem to get started
My hopes and progress ceased and desisted
If I can't do all you request of me
I cannot be the man I want to be

I'm Sorry, from the bottom of my heart
But all of the things that set us apart
Seem to quell the power of all my cries
I can't rely on the tears in my eyes
Because through it all the real truth prevails
Undo it and I'm just a man who fails
I'll never be the man I want to be...

I wanna cry as I write this..This poem written truly from inspiration of sadness for my nonresponse to any of my great friend ailathehealer's kindnesses..It was mutated into something even more painful when I realized that this too could be sad for how little I've been able to respond to my own girlfriend talonian's kindnesses..And how I always seem to say I'm sorry..How all I really mean to do is everything they want me to..Everything they need me to..And I always fail..or almost always..

And because of that, I don't feel I can ever consider myself the man I want to be..

:hug::hug::hug: It's OK. :hug: You've got a good heart Collin.:hug: You aspire to something greater, and that is a start. You'll get there. We all fail people at one point or another. It's what we do afterwards that makes us better. The attempt to surpass the failure and make it up makes a person good.

Such a sad, but well-written poem. Feel better.
