Just a Little - Poem 125

Some say that they would date themselves if they could.
Maybe you would.
But.
Why would you want to know what the other is thinking?
Why would you like to move the way they do?
Why would you want to know everything about them?
You wouldn't.
Its simple.
We can hardly stand ourselves,
Any of us.
Therefore, we seek others.
We seek others to love us,
For others to love us for being us.
You want them to rub you the wrong way,
Just a little.
You want them to move in the other direction,
Just a little.
You want them to have a different thought process,
But just a little.
And maybe that just a little,
Is too little.
Maybe that is why you never worked out.
That's right,
Just keep telling yourself that.
Just a little lie.
