among the many other
mean things
he had to deal with
he's felt
often
like people just think
he is a big fat liar.
he finally had to get over himself
is learning more and more
it doesn't matter as much as he wants it to
what other people think...
but it is still uncomfortable
to have to assume
he is so misunderstood
and often
he has spent time
trying to dispel
apparent misconceptions
not that others
want anything to do with that
either
they seem to just want to tease him
more than they wish to understand
-----------------------------------------
but at least now he understands
that to god
such things simply don't matter
-----------------------------------------
and really
he feels like
the idea
one has to be valued
by others
in the way one wants to be valued
by others
is just another
bad idea
anyway
it reeks of being controlling
on dependence on others
to do something
they may not wish to do
although admittedly
this idea
is one many others
seem to share...
