Who Am I?

Who am I is the question I now ask?
I'm not sure I know the answer myself.
I look inside and think I know who I am
then something comes over me again
like a whirling pinwheel my mind spins.
I create havoc within my own crazy self
I see another person I want to be more
usually full of passion is this other self
she sees another side of me that I hide.
I come out from the darkness of security
with an alias that brings my lost soul life
can I be two people in life fighting myself?

Who am I is the question I still ask?
I love myself as secure and honest,
yet I love the passion when it escapes.
I watch soaps I love where they take me
I dream of being the idle of they're eyes,
so am I crazy have I gone away forever?
Now I'm reading a novel that's fascinating
I was drawn into the character and her doll
so I decide to become her doll as an alias,
yes, I am Esmeralda Ponsonby a rag doll.
She is my passion escaping like a wildfire
my other self yet still I am me somewhere.

Now I would like to apoligize here to all of you wonderful patrons of this Corner Pub for my deceptiveness, I truly loved the name in this story and desired to use it as an alias and it gave me a means to write what Lost Dreamer cannot write, and that's another inside battle I won't get into. I would like to thank Munda for bringing me to my senses, she's sees my abilities much more stronger than I do myself, and I am blessed having her as a treasured friend.

Wonderful poem in which to release Esmeralda. I already told you i love that name, It's almost as nice as Gloria.

Lancelot thinks so too.

I love the work of both of your persona.
In answer to your question. You are your imagination. Almost limitless. I think

Munda: You know how I feel, sometimes better than I even do, I thank you for all that you are as a friend.

childomine: Thank you very much.

John the cat: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy, and yes my imagination is limitless at times it seems, there are some bridges I would cross though as I think of it...LOL

Jack, Thank you most kindly.

Denise: Thank You, your so kind  

All right all don't worry Esmeralda has told me she enjoys her time here as well and she wants to stay, she may take a little break to study a bit more on this Old english stuff, What I find funny is I am even writing this Old English stuff at all considering it was what turned me off to poetry when I was in school and on through the years, oh my does this mean I am getting old...LOL

Lost Dreamer/Esmeralda, Your talent shines forth in both dimenions! Please continue to grace us with your alter-ego for it is a voice which has much to say and an audience awaits!(I must admit, my guess was wrong as to the idenity of Esmeralda Ponsonby).
WRITE ON! Dennis :^)
