Love me as it is!

Sung by a 'Macho in malice'

Accept me with my problems,
Don't try to mend my flaws.
If having me is no gain,
Well.. losing me is a loss.

Losing me is a loss,
You won't get it so soon.
Like you don't value stars,
Until absence of moon.

What if I am sissy!
I bet you can't transform me.
And before passing such comments,
You should better inform me.

And you should inform me,
If you're a diplomat.
Cause if I dislike you,
I'll say that loud and flat.

Now coming to good terms,
I'm anything but arrogant.
Not asking for gems,
I just want a friend.

I just want a friend,
Its not too much to ask.
But if you are named Penny,
Getting love becomes a task.

I am hungry for affection,
And craving for love.
I don't instigate quarells,
I am a peaceful dove.

I am a peaceful dove,
Waiting for a peck or kiss.
I want you to love me,
And love me as it is..

WoW!!!
powerful and emotional.......
i understand this is about your sexuality in some aspect and not completely........forgive me if i am reading too much into it.
we are who we are............why must we change.........we are everyone.......and everyone is society.......equally......
being different.......in any respect......is a position of power as i believe........cause only then many more new things could be explored and advancement made..........
and as you said........it it their loss indeed.............when at horizon you see the sky and the earth meet..........it is beautiful........but you always keep a lookout for rainbows don't you?..........
awesome poem....
i loved it!!!
:)

Heartliest thanks friend. And yes, it is somewhat related to me but honestly I wrote to create much less effect but whatever it is, praise is never bad.

[Pushkar Prabhat]

This a brilliant, heart-wrenching piece. I absolutely love how it sounds read aloud- so lyrical. The comparison to the absence of stars on a new moon night is stunning. Great poem!

[Penny]

I am glad you liked it. To put it frankly, I must tell you that I wished I would exactly such things as you all have said about this poem. I am on cloud 9. Thank you.

This is definitely a great piece for a 2 minute angry rap song. Try giving your voice to it. Will love it even more than as it is.

[Penny]

Thanks a lot for reviewing. I'll try to make it better as you said.

[Parimal Pratyush]

It's perfect, your voice over it would make it a lot stronger..

[Penny]

Agreed.

Penny, reading your poem breaks my heart, as I think I understand. Having myself, lived a life, which being different has been risky, being opening feminine, during the 1970s and 1980s, as a child. So who cares, if you're girly, the important thing is, you're being honest with yourself and the world around you. And yes, you do have real talent, no matter what others say to you. Am glad, to discover this poem, of your's.

[Penny]

I really feel honoured and delighted as a poet when I see how much my words have become other people's voice. And that is highest achievement any poet can have and I am glad I recieved. Thank you.

[therisa]

Your welcome, Penny.

[Frieda P]

I like how you carry over your last line to the next stanza, teenage years can be so difficult especially if we feel we don't fit in anywhere.. whatever it is that's supposed to be the 'norm', you'll find in time, you'll appreciate your uniqueness and not give a hoot what others think, we all deserve acceptance...especially within ourselves. Well done.

[Penny]

Its an honour for me that a poet like you, (expert) not only reviewed my poem but also kiked it. Thanks s lot ma'am.

[Frieda P]

Was my pleasure, you humble me Penny, I'm learning as I go too, I just love poetry. Good job here.

[Penny]

Thanks again ma'am
