You
couldn’t be
what I needed
you
to be
No
you were not
But
was I what
you craved
asked me
to be?
I think not
Because
I
too
couldn’t be.

I have made it
even thou there were those
Who said
It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be
Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief
Saying
I can’t do this
this that I know I need too
know I can do
can succeed and complete.
