I close my eyes
I see you
I cover my ears
I hear you
I close my mind
I sense you
I hide my heart
I feel you
you are with me
always here
I do not understand
I just know
You are not outsider
you are me
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
This has a haunting quality to it. Within it lies both pain and pleasure. The two lines...so simple...is a treat.
ReplyDeletePeople forget or choose not to remember that the only person you are with your entire life is yourself.... You should like that person and be comfortable with them.
ReplyDeleteVery deep and very perspective of who we are. I really enjoy this poem cause its facing your self the truth and the truth is you can never hide from your self

Very self-reflective. I agree there is a slightly haunting tone that brings out the internal struggle we all sometimes face ... the desire to escape ourselves ... or embrace ourselves. Nicely done.
