Don’t Cast Your Pearls Before Me (A Poem)

Don’t you cast your pearls ‘fore me
‘Cuz I don’t really want to see
Things could be different if I were invested
But this isn’t anything that I requested
…
Just short of saying, you want me involved
But yours are problems I never could solve
And though your trust in me is flattering
It comes across as pressuring
…
Trying to take on your weight is bad for my health
Barely got enough strength for myself
Like Laura said, “the Lord knows what [you] need”
But the sad truth is that it isn’t me
…
I have to be cruel to be kind:
There’s someone else you need to find

 

PS: I just compared myself to a pig
