Naturally to me

CLICK HERE TO HEAR AUTHOR READ

The poetic turn of phrase

doesn't come naturally to me,

nor finding the perfect note,

or the soulful bend

on the guitar.

What comes

naturally is selfishness, 

laziness and denial,

blaming others

for my faults and problems,

jealousy and lust.

Also mistrust

comes naturally to me, and fear,

pessimism and doubt

I do with hardly any effort at all.

Tell me that you love me

and you're safe,

I won't believe you -

because belief doesn’t come 

naturally to me,

nor romance as you know,

but neither does 

being alone.
