Something In Common To Share Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You may follow others to use,
The same tactics and strategies...
That are old and tired and predictable.
And others have claimed,
To have achieved less than desirable results.
But is their outcome,
The one you perceive...
Is more personal to receive?
And if it isn't...
What is it you desire to have,
No one else can claim to get from him?

'I wish I can get to know him better.'

What have you done to let him know that? ~

'I was told by others,
If I approached him like they did...
I would only get a negative response.'

I see.
Well...
Have you approached him,
With a doing to be yourself? ~

'No.
I fear being rejected.'

Then approach him as if,
You had already been rejected.
You never know...
Maybe you will discover,
Something in common to share.~
