 For Me

People are always themselves not who we want or need or expect them to be I ask myself why don’t I open my eyes to see When someone shows me who they are But I imagine who they could be For me For me Accepting things has been hard Dissociation and hoping for transformation Refuses to work I tell myself If I just wait and wait Things will work out straight I don’t have to come face to face With reality For Me Will you change for me? You can’t change for me Why should I expect you to Be who I do Need No one can be that for me You do not complete me I am whole and disagree With needing you to be complete So why then do I stomp my feet And try to force You to be with me You should be free But why am I attached to we? We are not the Thing to be We are both a me And we can still love we Despite we changing to two I’s I see you eye For an eye So I give you your freedom Because you gave me mine
