excellence given in admiration
invades,
like fingerprints smudging glass.
everythings not so clear any more.
melted emotion
died into puddles of the lost and found
(I am lost but I am not found)
peering from my tower
balanced with everything
I don't need to be higher
to see the problem
it's all too obvious.
secure me,
let me feel my strength
uncover me from lonliness.
my instincts are fading
I'm confused by what's real.
wash my eyes,
untangle me from this net that deprives me
of my own happiness.
erase this drawn smile, make it real...
I want to be real.
let my picture develop for all to see
no unbloomed flowers left to die in me.
maybe I'm real,just wanting to be clued in
on how to be fake...
too many artificial flavoring to be natural.

I think by the end of the poem, you realize for yourself just what kind of person you are!  Remember to be yourself among else!

 Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...
