It is no use pretending that I'm the perfect blend You will have to bend the rules of love to want me for a friend You must squeeze each piece of the puzzle to fit your boxed-in dream But, don't expect perfection, I am simply who you've seen You must stretch yourself outside the box to keep the dream alive I am simply just a circle, not the diamond you hope to find Your optical illusion, is akin to fairy tales In the scheme of things, within a frame, you will only see me fail You will cut and paste, and try to change until I'm torn in two Re-arranged, your common sense, can't change your point of view It is no use pretending that I'm the perfect blend You will have to bend the rules of love to hold me as a friend ________________________________________________ 11/21/16 Contest: CREEP Sponsor: Silent One

A different take on 'creep', I've had a friend or two fitting such descriptions. Good luck, I like your version Carrie.
