Ok, I saw this going on in Teenie, so I thought, why not start one at DP? Ok, everyone say something about yourself…and toss in some poetry just to keep our ever-vigilant (But friendly!) mods happy. (Remember: These aren’t the personal ads, you don’t have to write a physical description.) I’ll Start! I am many things, I am simple, Yet I am complex, Beyond comprehension, I am unique, But I'm nothing special, I am alive, Yet I am dead inside, I am structure, Yet I am chaos, I am a good friend, But I'm a better enemy, I am all of these things But I am nothing at all, Whoa, that probably didn’t help! Alright, I’ll be straight forward. I’m 17 (Male), I live in Vancouver, Washington (Blah). My interest include, poetry(Duh), fitness, war arts, reading, writing, delinquent activities, music. I really dislike school and any other place you have to wade through the unending tide of bull just to get a measly education. I have a dry and melancholy sense of humor, but I can get quite silly at times (In thanks to mass amounts of caffeine or sugar!). Ok, I’m gonna wait five minute, and I expect this thread to have at least 20 replies! |

I am... there are a lot of things that I am, yet a lot that I'm not. I am that thing that makes you think that there's somebody following you, watching you, taking you in. LOL!! J/K ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "I've fallen asleep, slept so sound. Fallen so fast, I missed the ground" ~Lil OnE~ |

What's the rush? I wake up all groggy and feeling blind, Looking for a switch , embracing the light Making my way towards the restroom But on the way tripping on that darn old’ broom Cursing in silent I shuffle for my brush Its only 6:15, what’s the rush? That is a typical morning for me. I am 19/junior at Cal Poly Pomona University, California. Ronil (What I say I live by and what I live by is what I create). |

I am but a simple woman Mother of two, wife to one. I spend my days on an assembly line, Making Transmissions to power cars, vans, and trucks. My nights I spend on this computer chatting with so many wonderful people. Making new friends, keeping up with old friends. My likes are simple just like me... Poetry, Reading, Music, and Racing... I love this place called Passionate Forums I am so glad I stumbled upon it... Dee ![]() "It doesn't matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love" Rod McKuen |

~I am so difficult to explain. I am on a hunt in this world. For peace, for my turn, for safety, for warmth, for lightheartedness, for strength, for knowledge, for understanding, for solutions, for so many things, for time, for reasons, for true happiness, for fearless days, for too many things to mention. I am also on a mission. One in which I learn to intelligently deal with people and things, where I'll learn to not hold the weight of every situation on my shoulders, where I'll let things happen and try not to prevent, where I'll smile just because, where I'll help others more so than I do now, where I'll take the time, where I'll leave pieces of me whereever I go, where I'll be remembered, where I'll matter, where I'll feel the most at ease, where I'll finally be released, ohh to finish this would be impossible. I am a very sort of in my head little person. No one around me has a sheer hint even of a CLUE what is up with me. I talk to myself. I am happy at times, a lot actually lately...I am misunderstood, I'm nuturing, I'm still trying to figure out who I am, I have lots to learn,...in life and even about myself. New things everyday, new ways I make myself smile, new ways I make myself shake my head in disbelief. I am sometimes shy, and sometimes soOo not shy. Odd. Yeah, I can be that too. I love to make things (little crafty thigns when I am bored) (or write about myself for all of you to read),...or I walk. I can be a bugger if I disagree with you. I have anger inside of me. I have joy. I am broken. But I smile. I am so confused. I love to snowboard,...love photography, sk8, hike, music,....(chill funky music), I have freckles that I used to hate but love them more each day, I'm 24 but wish I stayed at 23, I work full time and go to school part time. I love to travel, I'm pretty good tonight,...crazy day though, I can't stop this thing. I wish there were a word count limit sometimes, I wish you guys could hear me, sometimes I cry and sometimes I lay on my floor and close my eyes and just pretend I'm someplace else. Sometimes I wonder if people watch us. Seriously. So many things to say,...I have two kittys and two fish. I wish I had a piano and a horse. I'm sorry when I shouldn't be sometimes. I'm someone worth getting to know. I'm going to stop now. Forgive me for rambling but I'm not even finished. This is one tough thing to do. Yet I thank you for the opportunity to talk hehehahaha about myself. To learn even in doing this. To find things out and to share. It's really cool reading everyone's replies. Getting to 'know' each of you a bit more is something I am interested in. Please,...forgive me for the length. *Peace. |

gosh. who am i? i never know how to answer that question. i can state my age and where-abouts (17/israel) but i dont think that has too much significance. it is impossible to define myself within a sentance or two. but i guess the poem (not a new one) that best describes my current state of mind would be: -closet girl- little match-girl, she whispered. little small child-girl. the touch of her bare feet on the smooth street smiling her third of a smile. |

What a cool idea, let me try ![]() I am a little fish in this ocean of life Constantly seeking for justice, inderstanding and love. I'm ofthen confused, can't sort my feelings out. I like to chatter, can totally spill my gut. For me the most important is company around. Many times I day-dream, feet high above ground. When I'm blue I like driving around, Cranking up volume, singing out loud. I love all sorts of music except for house and trance. I fell in love with Paris when I took a trip to France. I have infectious laughter, I enjoy telling jokes. I'm looking for someone to love me, hug me, hold me close... And I'm 20/f, study Industrial engeneering and management! |

I Am I am challenge. The prey, the game. Chased, released. Depressed, relieved. I am sigh. The cross, the nail. Plied, untried. Given, denied. I am dream. The wish, the fear. Wonder, known. Blinded, shown. I am wind. The far, the near. Implored, ignored. Followed, suborned. I am earth. The strength, the weak. Pushed, pulled. Confirmed, annulled. I am sky. The wind, the sails. Mooring, pouring. Flightless, soaring. I am fire. The cool, the burn. Softness, hardness. Loving, heartless. I am loneliness The crowd, the proud. Soul’s perdition, The contradiction. I am paradox. Yep, that's me! ![]() |

Even though I am much better at reading about other people than I am at describing myself, I'll tell you all just how crazy I am ![]() I JUST turned 15 (yep, I'm a young'un :P) I am a grrl, I live in NC (boooooring :\). I love Music, Anime, Writing, Drawing, anything I can use to flex my creative muscles. As far as those physical muscles go, well....lets not go there, lol I have been writing poetry for almost 2 years. I just sat down one night and wrote a poem, then I was hooked. Well, enough about me, I'm boring you I know :P I close my eyes, and I see things that are soothing to me. Sometimes I must do this, you see, reality will be kept this way. Do you know, how it would feel, if one had sat in the rain, alone, in the cold, dark, afraid. Afraid for all of their lives; That is the pain I know when I want to cry, but can't find the tears < !signature--> "Suicides have already betrayed the body.

This is a cool idea. I will confess, I am old. (compared to many of you here) My grandmother thinks I'm young.. ![]() I have a grown daughter, 2 and a half granddaughters, 3 cats, a second husband,(not going too well, as may have been noted), a true love elsewhere, and bla bla bla. I live in New Hampshire, going back to San Diego soon. I have been writing poetry since I was 15, and just this year starting showing it to anyone. I am bored, lonely, dark, light, happy, sad. Mostly lonely and sad. Thats why I am at DP..Cause I feel some kindred spirits here. My poem on the subject.. I am me and no one else. Though my heart lives on a shelf Its big and strong and could grow larger if only someone would take it farther.. Well I could have done better with more notice ![]() [This message has been edited by catalinamoon (edited 08-30-2000).] |

I am a woman who loves to much often wants love often but seems to not be there loves writing and my emotions become a tide like the waves rolling in. I am stubborn, compassionate very expressive to much so at times. I am 38 married have three beautiful daughters live in NC. I am very passionate about poetry could write all night. I absolutely love this forum. I love to write and love music it soothes my soul. I have to say my strong side is also my weak side I tend to care sometimes to much and get swept away with my surroundings so if you see a tear or two along the way it's me, . Sometimes i'm happy, sad, insane, normal, very moody believe me. My favorite quote about myself is I'm a nice person really. And I think I am. That's about it. Finally |

I think this is a wonderful idea you have here...thought I must apologize for my absence as of late...buisy, buisy, buisy!! I have missed all of your words and plan to spend this day catching op! To the subject... About me...that is a tough one...I am owner of a webdesign company called Liquid Web designs, poetess, mother, *****, lover,friend, and above all eccentric...and I like it that way! DP is my sanity! Poetry is my passion and mental medication!! I write what others only think of in the darkest depths of thier minds...Shock, dark poetry is me...If I can make one think, then I have accomplished my goal! The best way I know how to discribe myself is with a poem I wrote about 2 years ago and one written about 2 months ago... SHE....... She has hair of flames, and a rage that plays no games. She has eyes of stone grey that with a stare can drive anothers bravery away. She has skin as white as new fallen snow, that in the darkness,it is said, seems to glow. She has aboundant tenderness that lurks beneath her dark abyss. She has the sharpest of tounge that has, many an ear, rung. She has a coldness that that men find bliss. She is small in stature, but far from small in evil nature. She loves with passion, but can hate with devistation. She has a grand mind, but can belittle any who are not of her kind. She is...walking darkness, but knowing her,truly, is adventurous. Skinless Layer by layer Piece by piece Vein by vein Drip by drip I peel away the parts of me to stand skinless exposed bleeding freely for you before you so that you may peer into the true depths of me. a-alibster Until... "There is an alter ego which dwells in every soul..." a-alibaster "I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less, I am tears of pain, tears of Death. |

I am a child Loved by all; Scared and shy of life; Bursting with new knowledge; Longing to be a woman. I am a teenager Infatuated with myself; Exploring life; Experiencing new loves; Longing to be a woman. I am a woman Caring for no one; Dealing with harshness; Turned bitter and frigid; Longing to be a child. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

SIMPLY ME I may not have money nor do I have looks And the wisdom I've gained did not come from books The people I've hung with were scoundrels and crooks I am what I am and it's just what you see For that which I am is just simply me I've soared in the heavens and sailed through the skies I've dealt with the devil and saw through the lies I've felt a great love through a soft pair of eyes My experiences now I tell unto thee For that which I am is just simply me I've abused the innocent and felt a great shame Looking back on it now it was me to blame When they call for the guilty they'll scream out my name This is now how I know it will be For that which I am is just simply me I gambled my heart and paid a high toll Through the long road of life alone I must stroll Surprisingly enough it strengthens my soul At least that's how I expect it to be For that which I am is just simply me Not born with riches nor was I with fame But now in the end it all seems the same Life I have found is just a strange game What will become of me now we'll just have to see For that which I am is just simply me G.

I am woman, I am confused, I have been used, My soul's been bruised. Poetry and music my life, They hold the talismen, Of hope, of peace and love, Mighty are those that brandhish them. I am Mother, To my darling Son, For him there is nothing I won't do, He in effect is my Sun. I believe I've found my purpose, My purpose in this life, To offer comfort, understand, advice, To those who are in strife. I love animals and nature, Spending time with them when I'm able, I prefer nature to man made things, I'd rather picnic than sit at a table! Basically I just want to be the best I can be, Know myself, so my spirit is truly free, And I'll always help others along the way, And that my friends is all I have to say!!! ![]() *Our deeds travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are..* ~Isis~Goddess~~Sovereign of the Spirit~ |

A Moment I hear the clock tick. Waiting for sunrise. Quiet, alone, Early morning peace. Sleep, a heartbeat past, Drawing on heavy eyes. What shall another day bring? All things are possible To the point of choice. Left, right, forward, back, Up, down, sleep or awaken? The moment of decision Is now. And now, And now. The clock ticks,never stopping. The glacier of time On eternity’s slopes Grinds forward To the Sea of Forever. Nothing Is a decision. Each moment full of possibilities can evaporate Unfulfilled. Yesterday’s mists obscure tomorrow. Only now is clear. Only now can pass Yet stay. Burn, but never be consumed. Now is the past, And the future. The flower of yesterday’s seed. The bud of tomorrow’s fruit. Now always was Always will be Where I am. John D LeClare This isn't exactly me but it is how I think. |

Hey, sorry to bump this back to the top, but I really wanted to add something to this - trust Alex to get so many replies to one post. So, here my poem that might try to sum me up as best I know how. I'll explain a few things after. Me, Myself and I Dark lights of worry, Turn in my head, Words tumble over, They’ll never be said. Eyes so unending, Question the earth, Never satisfied, Not since my birth. Bright rays of sunshine, Break through the gloom, Bringing relief, From the ever nearing doom. Where am I going? What will I do? Will I ever hear, Those words coming from you? I doubt that I will, You’ve told me already, We will never get together, You’ll never be ready. Dark landscape erupting, Blocking out light, The sunrise is dying, Almost out of sight. This is me, And I’m sure you will find, My biggest fear, Is being left behind. Well, I wrote that just now, when I first read Alex's post. That's pretty much me summed up as best a poem can sum up a person. I have thrown in there an unrequited love, I thought that right now, that is a very big part of me. Beautiful is empty Beautiful is free Beautiful loves no one Beautiful stripped me ~Beautiful~ ~Creed~ |

I will add myself to this little post here. I am a 16 year old female residing in Colorado. Love this state! Anyways, writing, singing and volleyball are my passions. Well those and my boyfriend. I love him to pieces, we have had our fair share of pathetic fights and what knot, but we truly are made for eachother (at least that's what I believe, and he does too!) I love reading poetry other than my own, that's where most of my inspiration comes from! I don't usually post or read and reply in this forum, but I thought I woudl venture and see what this place is all about. Hope you all don't mind. And as for Deranger, he's a crack up!! I don't think I've ever met someone as similar as me when it comes to energy and saying insane things! Thank you all for listening to me babble!(now it's your turn!) Love Always ~*~Jessica~*~ ~*~If aLl My FrIeNdS JuMpEd OfF a BrIdGe, I WoUlDn'T JuMp WiTH ThEm BeCaUsE I'd Be At ThE bOtToM tO CaTcH ThEm.:)~*~ |

Well......I did not purposely choose my name to remain evasive or mysterious ....yet it seems the outgoing person I once was, has retreated somewhat, well actually a LOT! I used to be outgoing, but have fought being a recluse for about a year now. Even on the passion forum, I do not participate like I should, or could. Sorry to all of the talented and well deserving poets here! But depression has got me in it's grip many of the days, to the point of incapacity. I do enjoy all of the posts though, more than you will ever know!!!! I am a stay at home mom, 39 years old......VERY miserable right now in life, YUCK!!!!! Still trying to find my way in life....hey I thought you quit doing that after you were out of your 20's?????...........NOT!!!!! I have bad days where I am crashing down.....and yet there is someone inside screaming to get out that not many see or hear. I have alwayssssssssssss loved to write, but did not pick it back up until of late.......sooooooo.....all of this pain and hell has made me glad to be here. You are all a gift to me that I sincerely appreciate! Thank you all so much! Oh, the name came out of something I went through that showed me just how much we sometimes live in a world of Illusion (how much illusion I myself had been in).....I MYSELF AM FOR REAL......and trying to break free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Illusion Pictures you think you see Images to make you free Straining to see what is real Lost inside to others appeal So you falter....... Quest for true light Brings on a new flight One of seeking the truth Finding it is so abtruse So you..... Cannot focus on the real Rather only on the surreal Illusions of the heart Making you see only in part They keep you aloof Escaping the truth They bring you to the end Feeling you have no friend Make you search even more To find out the true score Seeking for what is true Only things that matter too you They come down to this So complete But do not promise bliss! To reality For your sanity To the core Your heart, you bore! To the pain Without there is no gain To the very one Who gets life from the son Unbridled beauty, without a mask Really it is no great task! Naked and perfect as you are God made you HIS shining star Without your own merit you are Perfectly HIS without going far! |

hmmm..Illusion and Chained too Illusion??? I'll ponder that later. ALL I AM Rainbow Brite, with combat boots. Barbie's sister that didnt fit into the family tree... so I was sent to live with Aunt Bea. Sugar and Spice and everything nice... but with a little less sugar and a whole lotta spice. Im the little girl in front of the toy store window at christmas... wanting that blue eyed baby doll. I am longing and passion stored neatly in Pandora's box with a smiley face on the lid. I am fierce and strong... but new and uncertain. Im a bag of seasonings that keeps getting shaken up before ya put the chicken in! Hi everyone! what a neat idea. Im Denise. Im from that wonderful planet called Ohio... and Im one of those brave souls *brave also = insane* who call themselves actors. Im 26, but if you ask me on different days of the week that changes to about...12..and other times..60...so we'll see... Well I paint, try to write poetry *winks*, draw, do yoga, meditation, swim, and spend as much time at the beach in winter and fall as possible. *bows deeply* I say goodnigh' till it be morrow. |

This Lady is not Lost < !signature-->as confusing as that may sound, she got lost for while; in a big family in a small town. She did everything in her power for attention that she needed, doing good deeds went unnoticed; doing bad things until they pleaded... for her to stop doing drugs and partying they all wanted her life on track; They wanted her smile and laughter, they wanted the old Beth back. It was too late for them, you see for innocence was gone, but along came a soul.... who sang her this song, "You are lovely in my eyes so perfect and kind! Your smart and your funny... I want you at my side To guide me and teach me Lifes little quirks I will follow you everywhere! teach me how it all works! Your beauty is in me... your heart is, too... And most of all Mom, I Love you!" So this Lady, once Lost, had found faith in God's Gifts In the eyes of a newborn never again will she drift. P.s. I am 23 year old from Pennslyvania. I am fortunate enough for that big family and that small town, my life is filled with nothing but love!

I am a little girl. (HAH!! IRL I'm 15) I like poetry (Duh!), anime (Sailor Moon rocks!!). I have a friend who posts here as Little Spyro. I live in San Diego, CA. My favorite color is purple, and I also like to draw. I am really not that good yet but I am working on it. I like to write poetry about the hard facts of the real world, like we all die sometime...etc...etc... On a lighter note (literally ![]() The poem... A little girl, when you look at me, is something that, you will not see. I am none ordinary, little girl, being seen right through, when you look at me. Don't look at the surface, look beyond my face, and you'll see the artist, the poet, the person that is me. Till next time, --Little Girl |

This is going to be cheesy I just know it ![]() A firefighter/paramedic by day I see the suffering of humanity, Put together people Who now lost their dignity. Their hearts hurting Or their house afire, Yet each time the alarm sounds I still get inspired. At night I hit the gym I then feel the pain, But when the bell sounds I will be on my game. There is a darker side When I pick up my pen, I jot down some prose And submit it then. So this is me Jeremy Tyler Sellers, Saying a good hello To all you passionate dwellers. And trust me on this I usually write better, But it's hard to mix A rhyme scheme in the form of a letter! ![]() Jeremy "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |

Hi evryone, This was a great idea! ![]() I really enjoyed reading everyone elses reply. I'm a 41 yr old male Engineer who lives in Florida too. I moved here after a divorce 2 yrs ago and have 3 children in NJ. (This is real hard!) I have a ton of hobbies and enjoy many of the worlds treasures. I just started writing and like it a whole bunch. Thanks for getting me going guy's! Here is a quick stab at it. The Last One I am the one The one that’s left The man that nobody knows A heart of gold sits in my chest Unused, I hope it still glows I’m nice they say Too nice I see The rest of the world Can’t figure out me Compassion and Kindness Are two of my traits? But it’s the outside That measures my fate Vince "Explosions, are just the thoughts of a creative person." - Boardman |

Well let's see.I have 3 great kids. I'm 39, I live on the North Carolina coast. I'm a born again christain. I'm a secretary and a very sappy hopeless romantic. I love to write my poetry. I must have my music and I'll confess, the Back Street Boys are my favorite group. Ok so I think I'm going through my second adolescence, hehe. And I love to read. A heart tender and kind But yet a b*t*h at times Romantic and dreamy I love having fun Praying that someday I'll meet the right one A mother of three And now an ex wife Woohoo thank God for freedom And a brand new life I'm giggly and silly And very out going I love people and crowds I'm never controlling Ummmm maybe that's not exactly true Cause I do like being the boss And I say to those who don't love me Well then darlin that's YOUR loss. |

Had to reply to this one...I don't think I ever saw a reply list this long!!!! I am a lady of sorts With a body that hurts And a husband who couldn't care less. I write poetry Sat here at my pc And I guess my life's kind of a mess. Yep, that sorta sums me up I'd say. I am 47, suffer from MS and don't get out much...but I like to think I can come up with a good read now and then. This is the first time I have visited this site...it's been fun! |

“I AM” I am humbly searching for my heart and souls contentment. I wonder if I will ever be able to make some kind of difference in the world. I hear my soul groping for loves return to me. I see Mother Nature delighting in her ability to open the hearts of mankind. I want to know I gave of myself hole heartedly to all I could before I die. I am humbly searching for my heart and souls contentment. I pretend to breathe a sigh of relief because the world is in a state of complete peace. I feel life is passing me by and I will never really experience true love. I touch a delicate rose and see the love God has for all of mankind. I worry that mankind will destroy the earth before he learns humility. I cry for all of the souls that didn’t experienced true happiness before there passing. I am humbly searching for my heart and souls contentment. I understand what it is to be lonely and afraid. I say all of mankind should walk in the steps of his enemy. I dream of a world that knows what true contentment and joy means. I try to help all of those that cross my path with what ever means I have available. I hope that all of the things mentioned in this poem would come true. I am humbly searching for my heart and souls contentment. By, Cerenity P.S. I at this moment are very brain dead and would not know how I am so I took this off of open when we did it there I hope that is OK, "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |
