I Ain't That Guy.....

I Ain't That Guy.....

A Poem by James Takeo Panton

 

The man you seek
And the one you find
The one who crawls into your mind
You think I am
The one you want
And in your mind I always haunt
The answer to
All that you seek
And without me, you feel weak
The one you love
The one you adore
The one that leaves you wanting more
That is not me
Not who I am
I have my own most earnest plan
To be as best
As I can be
To do this for myself, to do for me
I am not
A Superman
I am not the one who has all the plans
In shining armour
There rides a knight
Who shall come save you from your plight
He is not I
He is not me
For I am merely mortal, you see
I am no king
I have no crown
I have no way to bring you up from down
I am not the hero
I am not the star
I am not the one you have sought from afar
I am just a person
I am a human being
I am not the one you think you’re seeing
Because if you think
I am the one
Or if you think I am just for fun
Then I must say
With gentle sigh
“You have me mistaken, I’m not that guy…”
