As A Man, As A Woman Poem by Dre Pencasso

As a Man;
My main objective is make you happy in any way possible
but there are things you request of me that I shouldn't been held responsible
I understand that your heart has been broken several times
& almost every man has made your soul cry
however, I do ask that you don't demand for me to fix the cracks
of your shattered heart or place that undeserved pressure on my back
for I'm trying you in the best way possible, flaws & all
but I'm not obligated for punishment when I'm not the cause
cause happiness can't be created when pain hasn't cease to exist
it only causes more havoc with potential blessings being missed
I'm not the 1st to love you but I strive to be the last
but in order for me to do so, it's imperative to forgive the past

As a Woman;
I desire to be your King, best friend, & partner
with the need to bring light when your world gets darker
You're not my child, my prisoner, or my property
I don't control your well being, that's not how to love properly
You have everything you already need but you request my presence
& that alone, in my eyes, is an overwhelming blessing
help me love you so I can love you to my best ability
never take you for granted or conduct in clownery
I'm a force alone but with you, I'm a statement
I'm capable of being the best but show me how to be the Greatest
