Who am I? Little speck in vast enternity Unknown in shadows past Seen but not known, heard Hard to rember and easy to forget
To be honest I am something but nothing Everywhere and nowhere Amorphous, free falling, solid Tangible, intangible Beyond comprehension A Shape Nothing more Simple Things Stay with us
But there has always been a spark Within these worried twisted guts Anxiety that amounts to woethlessnes Burried deep within worries Will I ever be good enough for me?
Fear has away of creeping past hidden Feathers aren't ment for flight without wings Feet remain grounded firm on soil Comfortable in the element of earth Higher means further to fall I've fallen enough
Some times I wonder what my silence is worth Words have been measured enough Grades and intelligence exploited too much Self-worth has gone down and anxiety up Sleep's been found precious since we get such small supply Our own heads are worth more Life's become complicated again Does anyone ever truly listen to my silence? To those lonely songs I sing inside my head When the day is over and dead
But there's a fire within me Hidden volcano burried deep enough Aries, the ram, burning blistering fire sign I know my mettle, know inside the quiet strength One middle school day, one bully trying to hurt a freind Charged right in ready to defend "Don't listen to her, she's just a.....idot." Pushed from behind for that
They say I'm soft and gentle The quiet one, the innocent one, the cute one Maybe I am but that's not all Not a blank slate for others to draw
In the words of May B. Caroline Starr Rose "So many things I know about myself I've learned from others. Without someone to listen, to judge, to tell what to do , and to choose Who I am, do I get to decide for myself?"
Who am I? She wasn't where she had been She wasn't where she was going But she was on her way Darling to you who am I? You asked a simple question of me, Wanted me to bear my bones Expose my truest heart Show the contents of my multicolored soul Questions aren't so easy are they?
Who am I? There's no answer I can give No words to fashin into sentences Who's to really know the looker? Not the characters she plays nor those who think they're closer A secert not worth knowing but always kept A deviation that's all she is
Poem for Art Class about myself, used some fragments of other poems I wrote.
