Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

We'Re Not That Different

What is your problem with me?
You don't have to like me at all
However you will respect me
Don't be all snobby with me
Don't look at me like I’m trash
I may not cross my “t ‘s”
Nor dot my “i ‘s” like you
But come a little closer
And I guarantee we’re not,
that different as you think
Oh and I love your son by the way
I’ve said my peace goodbye

Mike Hauser January 16, 2017 at 9:48 AM Yes we are all the same and we all have our issues, we need to realize that and accept each other for who we are not who we want nor think they should be!

Demetrios Trifiatis January 16, 2017 at 9:47 AM In the eyes of the Lord we are as important for the divine plan, however, our roles may defer and there we are differentiated! Well spoken my friend, Alexis! That's my girl!

Chris Green January 16, 2017 at 9:13 AM We are people, we all have problems, we all have triumphs, our hearts break and smiles gleam. We cry and we laugh, we have and we need. We are not that different at all. So beautifully said Alexis, though I think there is a deeper meaning here, it is all truth.

Connie Marcum Wong January 15, 2017 at 11:10 PM It may take time but you can turn the tide, a gift of a grandchild should do the trick! It worked for me. ; ) 7

Justin Bordner January 15, 2017 at 7:51 PM It is like you are speaking to God in this write of bare feelings Alexis. Sometimes the only way to reason with God is as equals, one soul to another. You show the cutest confidence in this poem, it's so strong and playful...J.A.B.

Charmaine Chircop January 15, 2017 at 3:00 PM We are indeed so much alike dear Alexis..Nothing more..Nothing less..Some people like you are a bit more gifted with a kind heart.
