This is just to say
I am not
what you
see here in
this suit

I did
have dreams once
I
had love

Forgive me
I was not
always as
awesome as today.

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by the famous poem by William Carlos Williams. It is a simple analysis of the emotional complexity of the famous character Barney Stintson from the sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
