Why Do I Attract Such As You

Why do I attract thee to me I cannot say. Do I appear to need a friend or is it clear that you do? Maybe it is that I believe in you and that you hope I do. You must peer through my armor knowing that there is a soft spot for someone like you. Or you don't care to know me at all. This Is all about you. So I listen. Offer advise that you can not discern. But you are throttled by your own destructive ego. You offend my kindness always scheming to collect more Than you deserve. I give in to a point. Your advantage. Like the game of tennis you Attempt to take the set. You can't see it though. Can you? Open your mind to sanity. Your super ego has failed you. Why are you most important I wonder. I let you go on, but only for a time that I can rid myself of this vexation. Be gone! For I have not the energy to fix you. For I have paid the price and occasionally still do. Not this time however.
