A Poem for Those New Met

Please
do not
see me
as I
believe
you do.

Instead,
see me
better.

I am
a listening ear,
someone who
has walked
your path.

I'm not
the aches
and pains
and sadness
and endless medications
I sometimes go on about.

I am
someone
who cares.

I'm not
the person
who judges others
to cover my own
insecurities.

I am
Glinda the Good Witch,
Dr. Phil
and
The United States Marine Corps
all rolled into one.

It's
just
my
mouth
gets
in
the
way.
