You make a list in your head of what you want in a lover:
Brown hair.
Beautiful eyes.
A sharp mind.
A soft heart.
You want someone with a sense of humor.
One that actually makes you laugh like you mean it.
This and that.
It's all *******.
Because.
People.
Aren't.
List.
And I have always wanted to be the person,
who made someone realize that.
I want to come across someone with a list in their head,
that is nothing like the person I am,
And I want to show them what they didn't even know they were looking for.
People who think they know what they want are fooling themselves.
Nobody really knows what they want.
Not until it is right in front of them.

It starts with a hello
Pretend you have a little halo
And it's bright and yellow
"Are you Asian?"
"Yes."
No, not her skin color
But your halo

Then politely
Ask for her name
"How tall are you?"
That would be 4'9
No! Her name.

You talked
She listened.

She spoke
Her audience lessened.

You laughed.
While she cried.

You said Goodbye.
Finally,
A smile.
I'm not a race. I have a name. No number can measure me.  

"You've got opinions we're all entitled to them, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine and get out of here fast."

She's everything I'm not
She's everything you want

And
She's everything
I'll never be

But
Despite that

She's everything
I need to be

Because
My everything
You'll always be
Why do I need to be her? I am me and I demand you to love ME.

Im trying to decide
what it is that
I see in you
what it is that
makes me love you
Because really
you just make me tired
all of the time
I'm stressed
depressed
and overall in pain
just being with you
yet I can't help but stay
because theres something
I love about you
Its not so much your eyes
or your voice
though both of those
are wonderful
its not quite your smile
or your laugh
yet both of those
are sweet
I think its something deeper
calling me to you
and it causes me to stay
even though its rough
I believe its love itself.

Why ask why I like your poem? Be courageous in your ideas and ideals. Be confident enough to know that your work is true to your vision. Artists of all kinds, but especially poets, are the philosophers and prophets of their generation. A revelation does not passive-aggressively seek to be worthy. It just is. Revelators, in the converse, often are compelled to seek praise with false humility via the age old pretentious depreciation of the value of their work in order to reap praise, which is the expected polite response. It is a waltz I choose to sit out. I feel it is less than honest and a disrespect to the poet and the poem to revel in such frivolity. Write for the sake of revelation, not for the accolades of topical praise. It is no business of the poet why a poem strykes chords with a reader. Simply allow it to happen. Talent and truth are not always equatable, nor are beauty and integrity always comparable. In the heart, a poet knows he is a poet. By the very construct of your words, Poet, may you be the caster of many spells. Thank-you for sharing a bit of yourself with me. I bid thee Love and Light.
I am a voracious consumer of the poetry using on this site. Just accept the compliment of a read or a like without having to examine it.

They told me that I'm not meant for this kind of stuff that
all I'll be good for is doing simple tasks like cleaning and ....
well that's just it  you have no other skills so you can be a janitor for the rest of your life hows that sound?
But why you don't know me like that and you only seen me do one thing so you can't judge me about anything yet give me some time and I can promise you that I'll bloom into something you never thought would become of me. That's all I have say thank you for your time.
My reaction to when people say I can't do something or won't be someone

Of all there people you could be with.
You choose me.

Are you that unlucky?
Are you crazy?

Your not ugly, or dumb.

Why be with me?
Plain, old, boring me.
Hell your a lot of fun!

So many others, 7 billion others.
Why me?
