I am not
these words you read.
Nor am I
sexuality...
I am no one's fantasy--
I just write words
as readers bleed.

I am not fourteen years old--
that was just one story told.
I am no one's dream come true.
I'm nightmare's paint
of black and blue.

I am not, can't be, carefree.
I'm not what you want me to be.
I am NOT serenity--
I'm just a memory of you.

I am NOT.
But yet I am.
Becoming...
say you understand?
I am a destination--
LAND...
a prisoner of tempest--sea.

Nice job (had to go find the challenge ...lol)

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

You ask do I understand?
Conceive this mirror that slaps like back of hand?
Your poetry is my sanity ... my taste of sweet serenity ...
and in the end ... it will be the thing that sets you free.

I think I shall have to look up this challenge, and once I read it, I shall have to come back and say that you met it, but since I have a feeling that would only be deja vu...I'll say it now....
