Very Bad Poetry

I hated them all
With every fiber in my body.
Their profession was the same,
So were their personalities.

But that's no reason for
Preconceived opinions
Because today is a new day.

Really, this one wouldn't be
Any different from the others.
I was positive, and you should always
Prepare for the very worst.

But that's no reason for
Preconceived opinions.
Because everyone is different.

I didn't want to give her a chance,
Because I was so certain that
It would be for nothing. Maybe it would be.
Hell, I didn't know. You have to take risks.

But that's no reason for
Preconceived opinions.
Because I would risk everything.

But why? That's the question.
Why lay on the line everything
I've worked so hard for, set in
The hands of someone I can't trust?

But that's no reason for
Preconceived opinions.
Because she could be different.

What I want to do is simply
Lock my feelings away, in a place
Where no one would hurt them or
Befuddle them in any which way.

But that's no reason for
Preconceived opinions.
Because denying something is cowardice.

Who knows? Should I risk it?
I don't want to. I really think that
I'm stepping into a trap. But today
Really is a new day.

And that should wash away
Any preconceived opinions.
