Doesn’t mean I lack the courage
Because I don’t ask,
Doesn’t mean I don’t understand
Because I don’t cry,
Doesn’t mean I am not hurt
Because I don’t pry,
Doesn’t mean I am not concerned
I have a heart that feels,
I have a mind that thinks,
I am compassionate, so I know,
What can be said is best unsaid
I am just and fair,
But I am not perfect for all I care
I may not be the way you want me to be
Yet I am a soul, pray, don’t ignore me!
Two lines for you from Pink's song "Perfect"-
ReplyDelete"Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing
You’re perfect to me."
Those who ignore don't know what they are missing :)

ReplyDeletePurnima: hey thanks a ton! very nice of you to say this. *honoured*
ReplyDeletei do identify with your words... everyone is not so expressive about what he/she feels... the sad part is not expressing is misunderstood as lack of concern and understanding....
