Superhero sidekick

mrbleasdale

Being alone has me writing this rhyme

 

No Superhero sidekick no partner in crime

 

Days spent in isolation gives cause for hesitation

 

To open your door to wanting much more

 

A friend for life doesn’t mean a wife

 

But your partner in crime in which to do time

 

I’ve spent the last years, thinking it was ok

 

That being on my own was the best possible way

 

I’ve tried with friendships but they all feel the same

 

No ones ever driving in the same line

 

Things start great then they learn about you

 

See your troubles as a burden rather than understanding you.

 

All I ask is to try and get me, I’m not asking to come and save me.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a reflection on building relationships and the fear there is to open up about your past/struggles you’re dealing with. I feel being in a good place is best place to start when you’ think about meeting someone but sometimes that’s not an option

    Completely understand this. Keep it as a wish, them at arms length, you're better off in the long run.

    dear poet, friendship begins (like most things), with yourself
    see: when you can spend days on end, in your own company alone and fuel that self-motivation to keep busy, whilst still squeezing every drop of joy from life, then
    you'll understand whoever comes in and out of your life will have a limited impact: for you already know, you'll be just fine on your own..
    this 'learned' mindset, creates a domino effect in your future relationships, see in order for us to find those true few friends, we need to weed out all those wannabe impersonators.. sometimes we make childhood friends that last a lifetime but not much after,
    other times we only find our true friends - near the end of our journey and they arrive just in-time to ease those toughest last few miles..
    what's important is we keep our perception of self worth intact, while we're searching, so that we never settle for anything less than we deserve,
    while remembering: friendship exists in the act of freely 'giving' without 'expectation' of reciprocation..
    at least that's what I've found to be true for me, in my humble opinion
