The Gestalt Prayer
Fritz Perls


I do my thing
and you do your thing.
I am not in this world
to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world
to live up to mine.

You are you and I am I.
And if by chance
we find each other,it's beautiful,
If not, it can't be helped.

Im Sorry I Don't Live Up To Your Expectations
by Sarah-Michelle Gregory



Have you ever felt you just couldn't live up to somebody's expectations and whatever you did was just never good enough for them? Well, your living to please yourself, not them!


I am sorry I am not good enough,
I'm sorry I'm not you;
But, the person who I am, is not up to you to choose.

I am sorry I am not smart enough
Nor, superior
and fit too,
I am sorry I am not good enough,
Im sorry I'm not you.

You seem to only see my flaws,
in everything that I do.
I can only wish and dream
for you to see my accomplishments too.

I am sorry I am not good enough,
I'm sorry I'm not you;
But, the person who I am, is not up to you to choose

I'm sorry that I'm "just like her",
I'm sorry I'm not better,
I apologize for my mistakes,
but this girl who I am, you have never met her.

But, most of all I'm sorry,
that you can't appreciate me for me
And I'm really sorry who I truly am,
is someone you cannot see.


I am sorry I am not good enough,
I'm sorry I'm not you;
But, the person who I am, is not up to you to choose.

Better tsk tsk Sailor.. laugh Every Poem has someting to evoke a story to tell... Like this One of Mine

Dance Woman Dance


clap your hands -release - feel the transience

listen to the crescendo.. reverberating-

like a myriad of ringing

bells pealing across barren lands

heralding new beginnings,


Dance beautiful lady dance,


curt, screamed shrieks draw the passion! -

twirling skirts fan deep desires

your gentle neck - taut, flittering eyes head/face-diffuse contain

eyes, no gaze acquired.. relinquish– resolve


Dance sweet girl dance,

dance for you for a new lovers’ smile

and when..... you gaze eyes to eye in warm embrace-

if perchance a tear upon your heart should fall,

envelop the cascade - stamp your feet !

extinguish yesterdays smoldering pyres

Dance, woman, dance…


- - - Si’l vous plait... dans insieme mit me

That is the Beauty of life magic, we are all different, what i like can differ to what other people like, and opinions are that way to, but at least in our great country, we have that Freedom to do this, have a great day.australia wave

To be hygeinic, a non-smoke, sober and have no psychological rubbish in the closet

To have some financial prowess, ie: not a spend it as soon as you get it person who lives from day to day

To be a lucky person, it's a furphy to say there are unlucky and lucky people, we make our own luck by getting up off the couch and doing things rather than waiting for them to miraculously happen

To be a family focused person not self indulgent in their own wants before family outings and holidays, ie: if the kids are being left out of the equation, then I'm not sticking around with that sort of person

To at least have some sort of grasp on the difference between reality and fantasy

To have no criminal DHS record

Thanks for asking about that Cusp, it might only be a short poem but it certainly a lot to it.

I agree with the philosophy of it that you can only really live up to your own expectations, and that you cant enforce what you want on to someone else.

Is the most difficult thing for even Parents to achieve - to allow the freedom for their offspring to be themselves- heavens! there are enough people out there that are constantly trying to box and slot...

Different likes/dislikes - fair enough, Sailor - but you said it was Better, perhaps you meant you like it better?

must have read incorrect info on one of the sites I found cos the majority of sites say its a 56 word statement .. so maybe that is all there is...


but then again.. they all use wikipedia as their source so if they are all getting their info from the same source it could very well be incorrect dunno

a library database search might be more reliable idea
