Powerful Truths

honestly, I'm easy

for I love to be flattered.

the approach might be cheesy

but since when has that mattered?

the biggest problem here

is that when you draw near

I avoid you by instinct,

try to ignore what you think.

it's not that I don't want

to hear just what you've got

but the sheer amount of hate

all around makes me relate

to the birds and the bees

to the sun and the sky

for I'm worthy of these

and I don't have to try.

but I may well just cry

if I think of humans too long.

so many of us act wrong

and I cannot tell why.

so I feel good and surprised

when one comes with praise

sometimes I assume it's lies;

but most people speak true

about how I am, too.

I think they enjoy

the honest way of my days.

and I do not flatter

for I don't want to manipulate;

I just share but a smatter

of the things I appreciate.
