You were

I stand my ground,

this small piece of land

where everything remains the same

and nothing is perfect,

though I did my best

to make you feel 

you were

because to me

you were

and 

always 

will 

be

We can only be ourselves and let others judge what that means to them..
Honesty and integrity is all we can hope for, in a world that is spanning too fast for our own good.
Nicely stated and captured Will.

This is all that I have to offer (nice metaphors)....I am not perfect..this is me....if I can't please you, I still stand my ground....no one is perfect...not me or anyone...I tried and that's all that matters....
love this sweet piece; it says a lot in short write, and i like the design....
Best, B

None of us are perfect, We are all flawed, broken and damaged in some sort of way. But maybe trying to make someone else feel perfect makes us a bit less damaged and offers our hearts some hope of healing no matter how temporary. Life is a transient pilgrim bound to only God knows where. I hope we can reach out and help each other along our journey there. I enjoyed the read.

There’s no pleasing some. A poignant little piece will. An interesting shape to your words. I’ve never tried that. Have a good Wednesday.

Will I found this poem intriguing in it's structure. The descending lines gave emphasis in a building wat to the last stanza that consists of four one word lines. Very clever in that it gives so much more power to each word. I loved the message and how it was so powerfully delivered. No if, or could, about it. Short and to the point.

I like the cone shape...a small piece of land at the bottom...
perfect is a matter of perspective...
