Strong Will Poem by Deborah Cromer

I say wild things just in joke
In a good mood I jab and poke
Trying to reach your funny bone
To let you know you are not alone
I play and I tease just for smiles
To make laughter only, in many different styles
You are sensitive and serious, but like to have fun
I forgot the fact that you're a loaded gun
Don't get the wrong idea of my "live wire" ways
My anger goes away, but my humor stays
When mad, I come alive with crazy talk
Sometimes though, my words should probably just walk
Walk away and take a break, never of this to speak
If you are offended, I apologize for being so ignorant and weak
I was just trying to be funny you see
Please don't be mad or confused, just forgive me
No excuse, I do walk the "fine line"
Truly, I just need you to be a friend of mine
Someone to talk to who understands and listens
Friendship glows with smiles, it shines and glistens
