Latest Poetry- Work in Progress

See, sometimes....I'd rather lean on this pen and this pad
then lean on your shoulder.
Cuz as the time moves on, it seems I get more older
and wiser then I was before.
But the expectations still weigh down on me like a boulder.
And although you say it doesn't even matter at all,
I can tell from your stare that you are wanting just a little bit more
than what I can provide you,
more than what you came to me for.
The stress and bullshit eats away at me slowly
til it exposes my core.
I'd love to be able to accept
your gracious gesture of kindness,
to help me get past what has been holding me back like a net.
In your mind though, I know you would be waiting for me
to pay back some sort of un-ending debt
that you feel I owe to you. But meanwhile,
see- I just want to live without regret.
Without having to constantly reflect on this present
that will soon be my past. But I can only do so if you let
ME handle what I need to do on my own without trying to
constantly help me be all set.
