Page Forty Five
I'm set apart from them so I
decided to set the standard, and it
just might be the same reason I'm
having trouble handling it, so I ask
myself does she really have to be
damn near perfect when it's clear
you got flaws, emotions that go up
and down like a seesaw and
promises you're sure to break like
laws. So I segregated me from them
like Jim Crow, my expectations are
high but still I hang my head low, if
I don't make good on what I say
then obviously it was all for show,
my vision is tainted I'll gladly admit
it, looks like my past speaks to my
present so I'm still a victim of my
own sickness, I should take my own
advice right, and admit when I'm
wrong but what I long for seems so
outta reach and even tho God made
that covenant with man he still
deemed it necessary to fill that void
we were feeling with a female, that
one that makes us get back on the
right track when it's obvious by our
lonesome our train de rails when we
try to do it on our own, looks like I
should be the one privileged to be in
her presence because with all my
issues I know in her arms is where I
can say there's no place like home
