"my Thoughts"

I taught myself to see the best there is...
So I'm let down when its less then this...
I want it all, the cake and the spoon...
When others can't see, I'm left in the ruin...
Do my best to make it all about you...
But when the same is not given back it feels untrue...
Its tunnel vision to find the same beating heart...
Another steps up but soon it falls apart...
Can't change who I am or what I do...
Wish some can see a little more like you...
Space and time sometimes heals all things...
Not so sure a smile and charm can cure everything...

Wish smiles could cure everything, Michael. Sometimes when we're down, nothing seems to help. Many of us try to find the best in people, but are often left with a sense of sadness when they let us down. Very intuitive poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Deep write Michael, it reads like a whole hearted effort from one, but so little being reciprocated >> James
