Infinitely More

One of my more popular poems about loving the individual.

I am not a vessel for your needs.

If you love me,

try to see all of me.

Respect and enjoy

as much as possible of me.


I am not

your good time girl,

good girl, bad girl,

savior, lover,

the one who’s always there,

the one like you,

the funny one,

the elusive one,

the mysterious one,

a body for your pleasure,

or your way to feel more like a man.


I’m a whole person.

If you love me,

try to appreciate

the whole person,

not to see me

as a vessel for your needs.
