Am I
- The mouth I keep shut the
words I keep in the
friends I shut out the fear I let
win
- Strange burning anger at the most random of times
this infinite exhaustion after every single night
- The races I will win (and lose) the people I will be
the people I will love and the people I will leave
- The kindness inside
the endless gray space between
what’s wrong and what’s right
a little too much pride (but only on the outside)
- Speaking up and not sitting down
the pride I’ll wear (but not yet not now)
the places I visit the places I’ll live the things that I give
when I have nothing to give
- Staying up and sleeping in
what I’ll never understand (everything I want to be that is never who I am)
- The sorrow the anger the nostalgia the peace
my share of too much sentimentality
- Things I have said I wish I could put back
What if they’re right?
What could be worse than that?
- Who I will become and who I really am
The times I finally stayed, not ran
the things that I want the things that I’ve lost
everything that I’ve learned (but at what cost?)
the wanderlust in me (still searching for my abilities)
the dreams I have had the (few) times I took a stand
my spineless ambition my adored memories my own forgotten responsibilities
the parts of me I’ve lost and the new ones that I’ve gotten the people I forgot and the ones I will remember
- All of the above
I really like how you created wrote it, the poem is so different to what i have really and overall. I key detail that i really liked is that you added the alphabet in the poem. very unique.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem! I really like how you listed everything and then the last one says "all of the above" and I think that's a great way to end.
