I must have given
a most disappointing
performance today
for you to walk off
and turn away
a birthday celebration
that went awry
I’m sorry I did
not plan it that
way – a little boy
twelve years old
on this day
the disappointment
when his friend
could not stay…
I wish I were
a different person
who could fulfil
all your requirements
and meet your needs…

This is sad....You shouldn't wish to be different, it's the person you write of with the problem.....We're always beating ourselves up when we've been hurt not able to realize that we're not bad when someone hurts us but that it's them that has the problem.....A hard lesson to learn in this journey were all on called 'Life.' Excellent poem and read Margaret...........marci.m.
