&ldquo;I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe

What do you see?
I see you,
But you don’t see me.
What have I done wrong?
Blue skies and rainbows,
But you see black clouds and dust.
How do I fix it?
I need you,
Why will you not need me?
Clear water,
Swimming light floats all around.
Is this a dream?
This can’t be real,
But it sure is real for me.
What did you say?
You heard me.
What, you are speaking to me?
I always have,
You just don’t listen.
What do you see?
I see you,
And you now see me.
