Complete Me As A Man
By AH
She told me she loved me
Then told me she hate me
She told me I let the block change me
4 better or 4 worse
Do you remember those words?
She said a girl like her I do not deserve
And maybe she’s right
And maybe I’m wrong
But I been searching for this type of love 4 too long
That’s why I’m holding on 4 dear life
Hoping to get a chance
To make her believe that I can be a better man
As rough as I am and as crazy as this may seem
I am still scared to let you know the real me
But I’m tired of being tired
And I’m ready to take a chance
Because you are my girl and you complete me as a man

Hi A.H. The few people I’ve known who’ve truly shown me that I could be a better person are always with me. Even if they’re not actually in my life anymore. They’re with me in my heart. Even on my worst days, their influence never ceases to be important and meaningful. This is just a beautiful poem. Thank you for writing it and sharing.
I love the intensity of each line and rhyme…I feel it. You are already a better man for being able to pour yourself out like this, into every line. It takes courage and it takes heart–you have both. And for anyone who doesn’t see it, they choose not to. You know who you are, and that is rare nowadays.
