This is me.

By Andrew Hide

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If I was a better man, a stronger man and wise, if I was the greatest man the only man in your eyes, could you find it in your heart to hold me in your arms, to tell me that you love me and we would never part. But if this man I did become, and you loved me so, I wouldn't be the man I am, and that would hurt me so, I will stay here, as I am and take what fortunes fall. But if you ever think of me, and think I never tried. I may not be the greatest, but I never lied, a honest man I'm glad to be, this is my fate, for this is me.
