I am (not)

I am not God’s gift…

I am no one’s idea of a thirst trap.

I know that I will never be someone’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th round draft pick.

I have not nor will I ever blame The Women®.

I am not Casanova. I am not Cyrano.

I am not smoothest or the wittiest.

I don’t call myself a “nice guy”.

     I am just a guy. Who is trying.

I am tired.

I am tired of feeling as though the assumptions made about my wishes seem heavier than they are.

I am tired of guessing. I am not a mind reader.

I am tired of subtext over honesty.

I am tired of being told to love myself first.

I am tired of feeling invisible.

I am tired of constantly playing-back every minute detail of every interaction, flailing around in the dark trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

I am tired of the primacy of “instant chemistry” or lack thereof.

I am tired of feeling as though everything for which I’ve worked; every hobby, every interest, every character trait means fuck-all without “vibe”.

I am tired of blaming myself still.
