Dear Emotional pimp, why are you up in my head <br />Trying to bring to light, to things I put to bed, <br />What do you want, by getting into my mind? <br />What exactly are you hoping to find. <br /> <br />What is it that you’re trying to gain? <br />By bringing to the surface my hidden pain <br />Maybe you want to make me feel needy <br />To get to my emotions you seem to be greedy <br /> <br />Do you want me to cry into your arms? <br />Or are you trying to practice your charms <br />If i cry and fall apart will you offer to lend a hand? <br />While you hold me pretending to understand <br /> <br />Sure there must be other ways to get to me <br />Than reminding me of the past i try not to see <br />What will you do when you open my worm can <br />Smile at me nice and pretend to be a good man <br /> <br />Why do you want to get into my soul? <br />I don’t get it, what is your goal? <br />Well listen to me loud and listen to me clear <br />I am used to emotional pimps my dear <br /> <br />I am not as vulnerable as you may think <br />So i can clearly see that your motives stink <br />If you are looking to turn your comfort into passion <br />You may as well know it will never happen <br /> <br />To you my ears are well and truly closed <br />My emotions i refuse to expose <br />So go get a life and leave me to live mine <br />Because until you came along i was doing just fine <br /> <br />I don’t need your understanding or sympathy <br />I am not as vulnerable as you hoped I would be <br />I am wise to your actions, I’ve seen them before <br />So I bid you farewell, and please don’t slam the door! ! !<br /><br />Anna Travers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/emotional-pimp/
