Question: Are first impressions lasting!?
First Impressions

Am I who I appear to be
Can anyone really see
The soul deep inside me
Step right up the show is free
Here’s a view for your inspection
Watch me perform to perfection
Careful glimpses of my selection
Keep your eyes in this direction
I’ll respond to your command
Do anything that you demand
You’ll see that I’m your man
All the rest I’ll be better than
As time goes on the pages turn
Your good favor I’m sure to earn
I must see that you never learn
Make sure none can discern
In me lies another side
One so dark that he must hide
An actor that has lost his pride
All my strings aren’t quite tied
If by chance you get a view
If my debts finally come due
If you decide with me your through
Please remember I’m just like you

As a person who has made a few "bad" first impressions that I have had to live down, I can sympathize totally!.

I have learned through these experiences to withhold judgment until I know a person better before I decide whether I like or dislike that person or trust or distrust him or her!.

I have been burned trusting too much and cowed trusting too little!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It seems that the nature has two sides!. One - the performer - who will do his best to please - see me!? see me!? - very eager and not too keen on watching out for bad vibes!. The second one - the one who suffers the pain let in - the one who is introspective - the one who should be protected - by the buffoon #1 - who is not good at guarding the door ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is this that you must hide,!?
Is She, not Always by your side!.!?
Was It her that left you there,
All alone and in Despair!.!?

Did she not Wait so longingly,
For you to come back
from your break at Sea!.!

Was It Not Her You Crushed of Pride,
Dented Ego,
Soul destroyed!.

Did you not for one minute Think,
How Very Much,
She Needed That link!.

You say she's Really just like you,
So Can't you see,
She's HURTING Too!?!


I Think somewhere in your hapless self,
you're over seeing your own self doubt!
