Thank You For Loving Me For Me

This poem was inspired by the people that love me for just being me.

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME FOR ME

 

I would like to take this time to say

Thank you being you and always making my day

By allowing me to be me

And loving me unconditionally

 

I love being with you because I am allowed

To be open and free

Without any regrets or animosity

And the best thing is I do not have to be phony

 

With you I do not have to pretend to be someone that I am not

Because you do not view my kindness, loyalty and dedication

As multi-cell terrorist plot

 

From the moment I met you

I have never felt this free

I finally feel complete and happy

 

In the past men could not handle the real me

This almost drove me many times to the brink of insanity

 

For some reason they felt I was too good to be true

That always used to make me very sad and blue

 

I would work five days a week

Then come home to cook, clean and make the bed

But at the end of the day it seemed as though

They would rather be with chicken head instead

 

They would keep poking and prodding

To try and make me someone that I was not

I do not know why being a good woman

Is viewed as a sick and twisted plot

 

They realized that I was a good woman

After all their attempts to dissect me

But by that time I realized that they were unworthy

 

Just when I thought I could love no more

You came along and opened the door

 

I use to wonder why they did not appreciate me

And now I know if they did I would not be with thee

The title caught my eye. Accepting a person wholly, allowing them to feel and be free. Wonderful expressions shared while giving thanks. Enjoyed! ;)

A beautiful story of the power of perseverance through the maze of single life. So many paths lead to dead ends and then finally you find the right path that leads to the prize, someone who loves you for you. I know this works from both a male and female perspective. What a great piece of poetry.

It really sounds good to music when read by the poet.
