Your Approach Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It's not that I mind,
You continuing doing those things...
You find endearing and love to do.
I don't mind you doing that at all.

It's just that everytime you come near me,
With a doing of it...
Has yet to convince me,
Your approach is better than mine.

But still you want to waste my time and yours,
Attempting to prevent...
What is pleasing to my own needs,
That do not include you.

Why does that offend you?
If you feel secure by that which is done you do,
Why can't you just stay where you are?
Are you trying to get me,
To put a lesser value on my own wishes and dreams?
