baby, please don't
handle me with kid's gloves
fluff up my pillow
beat around the bush
sugar-coat your words
keep secrets and such
you should know
atleast this much
i have nothing to prove
and i can take anything
as long as it's the truth

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Seems to me
you can do all those things
I wouldn't mind having someone to fluff a pillow for,
I'd like to have a real conversation
using sugar words
and really mean them

I hear where you are coming from, Faith. The title says it all . . . Be Real. or hit the road, Jack.

2islander2-they say confession is good for the soul so i'm going to come clean...i'm a bit of a rebel when it comes to writing poetry...i know as a poet i'm not supposed to use worn-out sayings...i wrote this one using as many cliches as i could think of that would get my message across...i wanted to see if a poem could still work and be appreciated even when the rules are broken...

thank you for your comments...i appreciate them very much
