I stand

I stand
I'm human
not perfect
today
or one hundred
years

ago

don't push
or shove

lightly touch

see hands
hold
this face of mine
a bridge
love
careful with me

a delicate heart
as you
are the same

all

don't lie
and pretend
softness
always here

speak to me
not over

shoulder all cries
never walk

away

I stand

Such a beautiful expression of a persons individuality. Every stanza, puts each human at the same level. You certainly have a very gentle, yet powerful touch with your pen. I love the saying on your home page. Mine goes. "when people tell you who they are, believe them." Am adding you to my fav's! Welcome to AP!

Hello eclairluv,

This poem is so good that it makes you want to read more.
It almost doesn't seem complete for that reason.

I agree with the part of what you said about none of us being perfect.
All we can do is strive towards perfection but it can take forever getting there!

I understand about the loving careful part as well.

Seems because of everything that happens with us that we tend to build that wall not letting other people in.

I encourage you to possibly add more depth in this piece.

It's really a great one and I think with more things added it would be even more awesome.

Kari,
Greeter
