Who Am I?

Can you see me in this light?
Can you tell I'm here?
How do I look?

Can you tell who I am today?

My personality changes and I'm never the same
I'll brush right past you and never look back
You'll be left in tears by words I leave unsaid

Have you guessed who I am today?

I like to take orders and have people tell me what to do
I am weak and can never think for myself

See who I am yet?

I hide myself behind people and never speak my mind
I nod my head and agree to anything they say
I'm never a leader and always a follower
I flourish in darkness and hide from the light
Shadows are my friends and I tend to cower in them

Can you guess now?
Have you seen who I am today?

I've made it easy for you to see
I've given you so many clues
I think it's plain to see
So obvious
that today I'm being you

An Imperfect Fool For You

You see these shell-cracked hands, these bare-roughed, red limbs? They can never be pretty for you, like I’d like them to, but they will write words for you; pages, scrolls, unending verses for you. So many words you’d get tangled, you’d forget the dry cracked skin that created the sea you’re drowning in. You hear this heart, this hollowed out, still beating drum? It’s a tarnished organ, a thumping muscle that’s still broken, but it keeps going for you. It pushes and pumps this blood in your name, in your memory and it sings loudly for you. I wish that it were whole and open for you, but it will remain constant, beating if only to be near you. You hear these words, the ones I find so hard to say? The words that leave me bare before you, in all the imperfect glory that is my life in your hands. They will tangle themselves inside you and pull you in, to kiss these lips that long to touch your skin.

Silence

Silence deafens It screams at me from blank walls so I fill them with photographs So they’ll seem less empty, and so will I Silence welcomes When the world is just too loud and too chaotic and too restless And all I want in this moment is quiet Silence echoes From the depths of the empty beer bottles that line my bedside table They promised fulfillment or at least escape the night before Silence lies It tells me that I am not good enough for a house filled with love The kind that comes from the heart of a man Silence comes The moment I lay my child’s sleepy head to rest and surround her with pillows So that she may never know

| processing and thinking

You know when you're writing a poem and you don't like what you typed you can hit the backspace key and back goes the space until you are satisfied with the outcome but what is satisfaction when just a moment ago you had something to say and now that one key has taken it away? But then suddenly you have something better to type maybe worded in a better way and you're so happy as your fingers hit the keys your thoughts spilling out onto the page like liquid until you read your new, revised version and the outcome is not what you expected when the mood is not set correctly and the expected impact of your words becomes rejected Not only a

Into the Rain

Your presence teases me, Makes me believe that I see you Out of the corner of my eye, Standing in the alleyways, Or hiding behind bookshelves. I see a glimpse of you, And then you're gone, Shoulders fading from view. Something makes me follow, Rush to where I saw you And look wildly for another sign That you're still here. I follow you through storms, Rain so fierce it's almost blinding, Chasing your smile only For you to turn away and disappear Each time I think I've found you. When I finally catch up with you, Just when I can't go any further, You're somewhere I can't reach you; You're with people I don't know, Perched high on a balcony, Or

Sweet poison, Trickles down- I suck it out And convulse Electrifying I’m a seer Able to see Magical lands Balance Between dark and light The poison seeps out Perspiration Words course through My mind Thoughts Disturb me Remind me of something In the tangible world I’ve tried to forget My body cold now I rise I’d cry if I could But I laugh Hysterically My angel was right Life’s a joke

Lesbian

God loved the two girls at the end of my street. Everywhere they went, they went together, hand-in-hand so they didn't get lost, laughing at everything and nothing all at once. He was so proud of them. They never stole, they never swore, they brushed their teeth twice a day and always said their prayers. It was a gift, said the townspeople, that two girls as perfect as they were were born in the same place. an even greater gift, said they, that those two were the best of friends. Long nights spent giggling in rooms with closed doors was a good thing, back then. One day, halfway between their houses and in the middle of th

Blood Stained Glass

Pools of blood are on the floor Painting shards of broken glass. Yet we step upon them still As we talk about the past. Each time we put our foot down, The stained mosaic cracks. Can’t you see it doesn’t change Who broke it in the past? The glass opaqued with gore Will reflect iconoclasts As will the scarlet sheen. They will not reflect the past. The bones and glass inside your feet Squeal and click and crack. Your wince is louder than your voice So why talk about the past? Sweet merlot drips from our toes. Our soles are skinned and slashed. How much letting must we do To heal from the past? One day perhaps we’ll drown.

Well, I miss you...

I miss you because I hold you so dearly You're mostly in my mind, but not because I worry But because I miss the gentle voice that inspired my poems The playful personality that cheered me up every moment Your adorable ways, that would always warm my heart How beautiful you are that you'd break the fourth wall Your difference between girls, being real, not a thought My heart was sad until here, you were brought Because every time I go to sleep I wish that you were here, laying down next to me Hopefully, you feel the same Because without you, I just can't stay sane

i will love you forever

I Will Love You Forever I love you so deeply, I love you so much, I love the sound of your voice And the way that we touch. I love your warm smile and your kind, thoughtful way, the joy that you bring to my life every day. I love you today as I have from the start, and I'll love you forever with all of my heart When I'm with you, eternity is a step away; my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you, you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your heart, I love you more and more. W

love is...

Love Is; Love is when you care more about someone else's happiness than your own, You would do anything for them, You'd rather be with them than anyone else in the world, You would die so they could live, When you lose them it feels like you lose yourself, They're the only thing you can ever think of, You never even dream of being with anyone else, because they're everything you want, They have many faults, but you're blind to them, You would take them back no matter what they do, When you're with them it's the happiest times of your life, but when you're without them it feels like there is this great big hole in you You always wa

Mute

And she shut the world away, Lost in her midnight gardens, Where only darkness can bloom... Like fishing lines strung into the depths, My bleeding hands mean nothing. It's all in the hand you were dealt. Some are never able to rise above it, Destined to fall and to fail, Oh, if only I could be; Boundless, endless, eternal... Rough hands tangled in soft hair, Seaweed stitching my lips shut, As the ocean rattles against my bones, The sea shimmering like molten gold; Calling me home.

Infinity Perhaps

Our galaxy has long been thought to make us small, and to watch the stars is to fixate on the past. Perhaps we belittle ourselves when we put our hopes in the far away and long ago. But if the universe indeed goes on and on, perhaps we're bigger too: expanded by a smaller infinity of versions of us who know better than to shrink the universe to fit the limits of our comprehension. Perhaps it matters.

I really like the premise of this poem but I feel like you could expand on it and make it even better. The repeating questions is a very nice touch.

I also think you could avoid the cliches you use "Flourish in darkness/hide from light" "Leader/follower"

In the same light, that shadows line is absolutely amazing.
