I am a child
who wants to be among friends,
and walks in the shoes
of uncommon men

I am an elder
who wants to be among kin,
and walks in the shoes
of old tradition

But I am revenge
and I'm a former
Christian - I haven't
found my way to
self-acceptance

I am a whore
who wants to be Aphrodite,
and walks in the shoes
of forgotten esteem

I am a saint
who wants to be Holy,
and walks in the shoes
of false motivation

But I am shame
and I'm a former
president - I haven't
found my way to
redemption

I am a woman
who was burned at the stake,
and walks in the shoes
of solitary sin

I am a man
who knows how to stand,
and walks in the shoes
of razorblades

But I am apathy
and I'm a former
savior - I haven't
found my way to
equilibrium

Cela passera.

I love these lines..... In this one you slow down, and take the time to see who you think you are, see what you see. It's always interesting to see how a person see's themselves, isn't it? It makes you wonder.... is what people see a part of who we are, and does it make any difference, and is who we see completely who we are? *smacks self* I am running philosophical way to much.... back to the poem....

I was looking over it again, and I seem to see this not as you referring to you.... more of you seeing the world through your eyes.... perhaps you fit yourself in there, but it seems you are writing a melting pot of all that is around you. Am I right?

I enjoyed how you kept the same basic flow and rythm. Kept it smoothly flowing in my mind. And the ending, I love that especially. Splendid write, my dear.

Sincerely,
Titus

I'm the child, the elder, the whore, the saint, the woman, and the man. I'm everything. Although to some degree you are right, it was how I see things around me. What I see in family, friends, people at school, people at church, and just random people. I was somewhat bitter towards them (and me), but also sympathetic and understanding of their perspective. After all... pieces of them are pieces of me and vice versa. Who am I to point fingers?

Thank you, all of you.

Cela passera.

Wow. I mean...wow. This is so bloody amazing that I'm in complete awe of you right now. The way this is written can't help but be in your face. I find it nothing short of interesting that you are all of these people. When a person sits down, they can usually identify with maybe one or two but to have so many inside makes for such an interesting read.
I know what you mean about being all of those people though. It's hard to classify ourselves as just one when we have so many emotions to express and so many words to say.
You've done a fabulous job on this and you should be really proud. It's in my library for sure.
