uneven

I am not for everyone

cut me into little pieces and I still won't be enough.

I am not for everyone 

While one might think me charming another might think me ghoul. 

Do you get the picture? 

I am not for everyone

Maybe if you dissected my skin, teeth and bones I could be given to everyone like pieces of pie

but not everyone likes pie

I wouldn't even be a tasty pie 

Its incredible to think I am any different from a tree or a rose bud with thorns

slowly dying slowly thriving 

but some people hate nature 

I couldn't be for them 

I am not for everyone .

good poem, and just like poetry, it's not for everyone.

love the title in relation to the content of the poem. I'm tempted to cut your longer lines up and make them more uniform in length - the pie doesn't sound too appetising but I like the unusual analogy. Look forward to reading some more from you medamorfisis - great name btw.
