What Problems.

Goldfinch60



People see me as I am,

I do not hide anything

By telling untruths.

I treat them with respect

And help if I can.

All my life I have listened,

Listened to people’s problems

As listening does help

Not just hearing.

In listening they can fix their ways,

By knowing that I understand

And will help if possible.

 

Sometimes there are people,

People who don't care

And look down on me,

But I say to them

This is me,

If you don't like what you see,

Itis not my problem,

It is yours.
