It’s All About Me!



You!

You who?

ME! ME! ME!

I Forgot, I Forgot, I’m so very sorry. I Forgot!

It will always happen again...

Didn’t you hear me calling you?

PLEASE!!!!!!!
Pretty Please!!!!!

How much longer will you make me wait? You can’t possibly understand how difficult it is being me; my friends say I’m overweight!

I want what they have!
Don’t you want what I want?
Don’t you love me?
Don’t you love me?

Don’t you want me to be happy and laugh all the time?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want to protect me?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you ALWAYS want me here?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want me to have it easier than you did?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you at least think you owe me?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want to leave me everything you have?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want me to be a somebody, one day?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want to apologize for leaving me this synthetic, materialistic, socially decrepit, morally decaying world?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want me to be free of stress and worry?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want me to be self-sufficient?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you want me to learn the weight of responsibility, the loyalty of a handshake, and the value of a man’s sweat to a dollar, the lack of difference in manner of men, based on the color of their shirts collars?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you think I’m good enough?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you think I deserve a chance to?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you think I have what it takes?

Don’t you love me?
Don’t you know there is a part of me that realizes that, and in some strange way, a small piece of my heart breaks?

Don’t you love me?
I love you!

All I wish is that I could be like you. I think you’re a great person. But I don’t know how.

I sure wish you would teach me...

Don’t you love me??????

I love you!

 · 1967

"Numi" is the pen-name I adopted in 2007 after a friend gifted me a copy of The Essential Rumi; by Coleman Barks. After reading some of my works, it was suggested that it reminded them of the works by Rumi. In no way do I align myself with this Great Master Poet, but I do feel a deep connection to his poetry, and the book of Essentials was my constant companion during a 5 year saga, where I was stranded in the Amazon Jungle of Peru, from 2010-2015. more…
