Differences

There's a difference between you and me
Unfortunately no one opens up enough to see
Trust amd respect is what we are told
But being the nice guy is getting old
While growing into the woman i am today
I made a few bad choices along the way
Family, friends and strangers too
Will always have their own opinion of you
My past  is something i cannot escape 
Because everyone is holding onto my mistakes
Im not the same girl you knew last year 
If given the chance you'll have nothing to fear 
No lies, no games, no bull i promise 
I may hurt your feelings but ill always be honest 
I wanna be friends and give you a shout
Say that to a man n he thinks ill put out
Changing my ways n doing things right 
Yet friendships n relationships still end in a fight
What am i doing wrong to all of you
Im trying my best yet im still getting screwed 
Second chances are given n im always there
But when im in need all i see is an empty chair
Do i turn my back n become a 
Turn on and off like a light switch
Because thats what i see in everyone i know
I cant take it no more its starting to show
My walls are up high n very tight 
I wont let them down without one hell of a fight 
I wanna be shown that im important n special 
Seems to me that its just to stressful 
Im sorry for the things ive said n done
I wish that forgiveness will be given by someone 
Almost 30 and its been a crazy life
I just wanna stop paying the price
I've learned my lesson n laid in my bed
Wont do it again, id rather be dead
All i want is to be given a chance
I think i deserve another look, another glance
If not just know i do understand 
I realize  got way outta hand
Even if you wont give me a try
My life ill live with my head held high
Yes there's a difference between you n me
Im going to let go n finally be free!

We all change, Dana, hopefully always for the better, and we must always be patient with those around us and give them time to accept the person we have become. This is a well written raw, honest piece. Welcome to Poetry Soup. John
