My teacher said I had a lot of potential,
My friends thought I was hiding talent.
A few years later I soon found out,
That I could have been,
A fearsome dragon,
A blazing phoenix,
A savage shark,
A true leader.
*But I didn't.
Adelaide London Jan 2017
I am society.

And this is me.

I am the narcissistic fool.
Obnoxious beast.
Cruel friend
And cautious acceptor
Fixated on only one thing.

And that thing is you.

I am the controller of your friends.
and the ones that don’t like you
Because of your fat thighs
or thin lips
or crooked teeth.

My full-time job
is being a self-proclaimed hater.
And a two-faced rat,
stabbing you in the back.
If you ever saw me
-you wouldn’t know which side of me to slap first.

But
-fortunately-
I have humans.
Who seem to have
an unnecessary nature of trying to
change me.

First it was with
Black and White
and then, for some reason,
LGBT.
It took me quite a while to allow women to work.
And now it’s with the whole controversy
of transgenders- he or she?

But one day,
-those determined little buggers-
-feisty freedom seekers-
-admirable able workers-
will somehow, magically, improve me.

Because one day,
each and every one of you,
Shall stand where you belong;
If it is one thing,
you are right
and I am wrong.
Am I right, or am I right?
I'm fine
When I am
I'm fine
When I am not
I'm fine
Whenever I am asked.

I am tormented
On the brink of madness
If I go through
Yet another sleepless night
Whenever I am asked,
I'm fine.

We talk more
Smile and joke
They are
The wrong words.

I am worried
Ashamed of breaking
I am crying for help
I will say
I'm fine
Instead.

I'm fine
When I am
I'm fine
When I am not
I'm fine
When I am everything but.

The biggest lie
The truth behind
Listen,
I am not.

My Painter
My painter has painted me with all love and affection
But I do not know why I still aspire for every perfection
At times in my disappointment, despair and dejection
I think what ever I am, that I am, no point of correction

I know with the passage of time I deteriorate ,I will fade
I am in transit being transitory bear pain and to degrade
Back to all my original colors from which I was but made
Still I maintain it is not me but will of the painter to wade

My master has given me all the colors of life to be colorful
He has ingrained in me all vices and virtues of sweet angel
I remained on wall of fate with pain and pleasure push, pull
But I am in complete servitude to obey the will as a real bull

At times I just do complain in a light vein about my existence
At very many occasions I feel fragrance of colors as my essence
Some colors have gone down light which were really dense
But I have all my doubts about my wit intelligence and sense
