To Be Ourselves

To Be Ourselves
By Kern F. Little

guy’s are weird
they either
can’t talk
to gals
as they hide
in fear
or they
turn on
the charm
setting off
all kind
of the ladies’
alarms
ending up
alone
sipping on
a beer
why is it
so hard
to be ourselves
calmly telling
the ladies
our wishes
hopes & fears
and in time
praying it
draws
them near
