I say the wrong thing

Aa Harvey



I say the wrong thing

 

 

I truly appreciate the words, but there are never enough.

There are never enough words; there are never enough.

My body aches for understanding,

But I have no knowledge of so much stuff.

You get what you give out, so I deserve nothing less.

You get what you put into it,

So take what you need to find from inside my head.

 

 

You do things you like, but I won’t do that.

I would give you my opinion, if I could only take it back.

If I read what you write and it is something I like,

You might find something in my words,

That just does not sound right.

 

 

I have no foresight, just a vague idea.

I am just a fool, so misunderstood, so never too clear.

I can write, but I cannot speak.

I know you hear, but my intentions you cannot see.

Every screaming piece of me, is only shouting out for peace!

 

 

I cannot meet your expectations,

Nor can I quote the Romantics.

I cannot know just what you want from me;

I can only give you, all of this.

Every single part of me, I throw this down at your feet

And all I ask is that you please understand that I come in peace.

    good poem aa harvey 🙂 some people will always find fault in your words or fault in our actions and you are right..

    I cannot meet your expectations,

    Nor can I quote the Romantics.

    I cannot know just what you want from me;

    I can only give you, all of this.

    we can only give out what we can give! nobody is perfect

    i love the ending line

    Every single part of me, I throw this down at your feet

    And all I ask is that you please understand that I come in peace.

    it sounds like you give all you can and you are not perfect ... you come in peace and thats all that matters !

    nice work aa harvey 🙂

      Thank you. I can find no faults with your comment, so thank you once again. Every time I hear we come in peace, I think of this song, so I hope you like it too.

      "Star Trekkin' across the universe,
      On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk.
      Star Trekkin' across the universe,
      Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse...

      Ah! We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill;
      We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men...

      It's worse than that he's dead Jim, dead Jim, dead Jim,
      It's worse than that he's dead Jim, dead Jim, dead.

      Well it's life Jim, but not as we know it...

      Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics..."

      You have written nothing but lovely things aa ........ I always enjoy them........

      • Aa Harvey

        Not everything I write is lovely. You have just read the good parts of me I guess. Sometimes I will have to upload bad poetry just to know I have gotten rid of it out into the atmosphere.

        Peace, love and empathy.
