views from me, the one's i let you see

[misterpoet]

i sense you are afraid
and that's okay. fine with me. i don't mind.

and i can tell, somewhat, that you don't like me.
i can deal with that. you can stay away. i won't be sad.


you look at me like i'm different,
and i'm proud you do. normal is not my thing.
normal is self-discriminating.


i like your mind – i want to pry inside
and get the facts. i am careless to what emotion it brings.
i want these things, those that come from deep within you. share them.
let me understand you. let me learn.

and next time when i come close, i will be careful to offend you again
so i can see what else you do not have to offer. it will be fine with me.
