Take Me Home (Original Poems)

Faint of Heart - Poem 120

I don’t like everyone.

Not even close.

I can count on one hand the people I like.

People will be in my face,

In my personal space,

And in my business,

They won’t even realise it.

They won’t realise this because I am me.

Right?

I am the one that does anything for anyone.

I am the one that will take a bullet for someone with a bad reputation.

Because that person is not what everyone says about them.

I will trust you until you give me a reason not to.

But I have also been let down many times over again,

Simply because I see the good.

I don’t want to hurt anyone.

And I feel that no one deserves to be hurt,

In any way.

People may show me that they can’t be trusted,

But I will still let them destroy me before they hurt anyone else.

I can take this kind of pain.

I can take this kind of treatment.

It is simply not new.

Some of you will continue to use someone,

But only use them if they know they can take your abuse.

If your suport can’t take it,

Let them rest,

And find someone else.

Because if you are going to use someone,

Use the ones that can handle it.

Stop using the ones that are faint of heart.
