My friend wrote this poem about herself, but had me in mind as she was writing it. So, in effect, this poem is about both of us.  Hope you like it.
I'M NOT THAT COMPLICATED

To understand me, look into my heart
And see all the pain I've put aside
The wicked and the evil.
Come see what I've overcome.
So maybe I think differently, maybe you think I'm odd
Maybe that's what comes from being alone for so long
To understand me please don't be weak of heart
Please, I need someone to be strong
So know that if I'm difficult or stubborn
As some would like to say,
Know it's not because of you
Sometimes that's  just my inconveinent "way"
Sometimes I might look sad, but if I don't say why
It's probably just because I'm afraid of making you mad
And, sure, it might sound crazy
But trust me when I say
I'm not that complicated,
I just like it all my way.
