Who is She?
Only an Act
She is a perfectionist through and through
With one set of rules for her,
And another set for you.
She doesn't cope well with her failure
Yet she can forgive you your behaviour.
***
She favours honesty and loyalty
And when she commits her heart,
She will treat you like royalty
Giving 110% from the start.
***
The minute she realises she has made a mistake
She will hang her head in shame,
Remedial action she will partake
To correct that which she is to blame.
***
An important issue she feels deeply about
Is not to go to sleep on a fight,
She needs it resolved without a doubt
Regardless of who is wrong or right.
***
She spends considerable time in her head
Convinced she is not good enough,
She tries to listen to her heart instead
But ignoring that little voice is tough.
***
If she suffers any emotional pain
She will hide behind her wall,
Put a smile on her face all the same,
And pretend her hurt is anger to stall.
***
The same can be said for her physical pain
She will smile as she doesn't want you to know,
She will have you convinced once again
And not know how deep her pain levels go.
***
She is an expert at hiding her tears
As she hates losing control,
Breaking down in front of you is something she fears
Because you will see deep into her soul.
***
She is scared of many things
But believes in "feeling the fear and doing it anyway",
Although some of the issues this brings
Makes her want to run the other way.
***
She does not do as she is told
In fact it will be the opposite for she,
She is independent and stubborn
It is the only way she knows how to be.
***
She takes a lot on board
But does not like to sweat the small stuff,
She will pick and choose what is to be ignored
But only the act she puts on is tough!
***
When the man in her life does not play fair
She forgives him time and again and still remains,
Until the pain causes her to no longer care
Then and only then will she leave, never to return again!
***
Ultimatums are not her style
but this she does have to say,
She does not share well with other women
That is when she definitely walks away!
***
But stand beside her as her loving man
And she will promise you to be her best,
She will love you with all she can
And let the Universe take care of the rest.

About the Creator
Colleen Millsteed
My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
