poetry, or something like it

I would wait for you to see
All for you that I can be
I can walk through the blazing fires
Watch patiently as time transpires
I feel in my heart all that can be
The most I can do is just be me
Fill your glass with an honest compliment
Then I sit nearby and just lament
Why can't it be all that it could be
There is no need for an army
To storm down the barrier of your lot
A wish for all I have to do is knock
For if the key is a simple handle turned
You think with time I might have learned



Keep your friends close
Keep your enemies closer
Keep those you love closest
