You know the difference between you and I? <br />I cannot compromise myself <br />to succumb to your random acts <br />of jealousy <br />and I refuse to take the blame <br />for your own insecurity. <br />I do not live my life <br />for you, I live it for myself, <br />for my mother and grandmother <br />and for those before them. <br />Ultimatums are unnecessary <br />and you will find them only to go unnoticed. <br /> <br />Every person seems to have a clear idea <br />of how the next person should lead their lives, <br />but none about one's self. <br /> <br />Do not attempt to change me <br />because I will not change. <br />Do not attempt to reason with me; <br />I refuse to listen to the advise <br />of a man who considers himself wise. <br /> <br />Only the wisest of men know <br />that they know nothing at all.<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/only-the-wisest-men/
