I am built that way— <br />No alterations can be made. <br /> <br />Everyone says— <br />You gotta be thick-skinned, <br />You gotta be manipulative, <br />You gotta be artful. <br /> <br />But to be all of these— <br />One’s gotta be vile. <br /> <br />For god’s sake, people— <br />Gimme a break. <br />Spare me, please— <br />Just let me be. <br /> <br />I am built that way— <br />And, no, alterations cannot be made. <br /> <br /> <br />1st September 2006<br /><br />asma bahrainwala<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-built-that-way/
