I'M Not Like Them Poem by Guarded Heart

I’m not like them
They are so different from me
You just simply can’t compare me
To the ones of your past

I’m sorry that I’m so insecure
To hear you talk of them, of how great they are
Plunges a stake through my heart, I’m not good enough
And I find myself trying to measure up, to what I’m not

I can’t be sorry for who I am
I do have some bad in me
My dark side wins most of the time
I tease you and feign my anger
Only to see you get flustered
And have an excuse to kiss you later

I’m weak and needy
And of course I’m not proud of that
But I’m not all bad, and I am proud of that
I’m loving and forgiving
I’ll shelter you from the worst if you let me
I’ll take away the pain you show me
Heal your scars and give you an escape
I’ll go with you around the world
Help you fulfill your dreams
Do my best to make you happy

I’ll be yours

But I’m not like other girls
