you're all a bunch of phonies and fakes
sometimes i'll say whatever it takes
to get you to love me
love me
please dont ever
not love me

i'm pretty i'm adorable
twice stitched to never tear
i'm seamless dreamless
i come with loving care
eternal guarantee
you have to love me
love me

i don't swing my head in the air
to the wanting sound of another
i'm not a phony or a fake
i only love you and i will
'til one day my string will break

Everyone's biggest fear...not being cared for, not being accepted.  I really enjoyed this poem, a more serious subject than what I'm used to reading of yours - I'd like to see more, it was great!

Hi Walt.....

Walt, for some reason, this brought back memories of when I was a horrid little snot. My sister used to have a slew of these little dollies that would spew out some tinny message when you yanked their chain. Weeeelllll.....I kinda sorta got sick of the same dribbly litany, so I pulled the string out, cut it, and retied it to the knob....no matter how hard she yanked, the only thing that came out was blissful silence...until she threw a fit.......

Whew!  I thought you meant the poets here!
What a relief. But this is sad isn't it?
Sometimes we show our true selves and find out the other person doesn't really want us.
I hope this hasn't or doesn't ever happen to you, because the opposite is pure bliss.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Does my response to this poem prove that I am a phony or a fake or will this disprove that silly notion...btw this is one guy in Hawaii that likes bush...and that vote was real not phony....James
