Who is this I've become?
I no longer recognize
the solemn emeralds nor
the kisses of a thousand angels
that command my face.
I am walking
as empty as my
life
seems
to be....
Anger and tears are all that
keeps me company.
Who is this I've become?
A bass beat in a rythmic bore
one...
   two...
     three...
Neverending, is this the NEW me?
A boring, lifeless hull
traversing the land of sunshine and poppies
only to be, unseen.
unheard.
Is this who I've become?
Me?
Only loveless.
Loveless?Is that this feeling?
Where have I GONE.
But I cant be lost..totally.
I woke up this morning with a smile
a damn cant
get enough
real
SMILE.
Who is this I've become?
Who are you to make ME smile?
A slow decline into
a perpetual frown
is a curse for all to see.
One...
  Two...
    Three...
But to a brand new beat.

Erica...Enjoyed the comparrision between the old and the new that you've become.
Sounds like a battle between what you really are and what you think you are and you're hiding behind that frown.

I'm not reaally trying at analyze this poem or you, just saying how I read it. I hope I haven't offended you...Paul

Oh, LOL, on any given day?
I see someone I don't recognize in the mirror.
But that's a whole 'nother scary story when you get to facing wrinkles merging together.

You have LOTS of changing times ahead. Enjoy.
