"I am not your idea of me."

♥ ♥ ♥ I am not your idea of me.
I am more than simply a name;
more than the one thousand
faces you mask me with.
When I love it is passionate.
To love deeply is to love vulnerably.
To be vulnerable is to surrender.
I will surrender.
♥ ♥ ♥I am not your idea of me.
I am an eccentric hippie,
sliently digging deeper to this compassionate core.
I am an artist,
a creater of my perceptual reality.
♥ ♥ ♥I am not your idea of me.
I am a lover of nature,
an admirer of its beauty.
I am a lover of introverted wisdom,
of silent wisdom,
quietly emanating within myself.
♥ ♥ ♥I am not your idea of me.
I will not be shamed by this salt,
this "holy water,"
for it brings these barriers to surface.
I am making these walls
into velvet petals.

 

Very graceful....

my favorite stanza:

I will not be shamed by this salt,
this "holy water,"
for it brings these barriers to surface.
I am making these walls
into velvet petals.

 

beautiful

 

eloquently written..i like the whole thing..i can't pick a favorite part

 

I like it. Its a very eloquent way to describe yourself.

 

"of silent wisdom"

and the true Poets know justice is a lie.

 

I've recently had a revelation that made me realize this very same thing.

Very nice poem.

 

Thanks you all. It feels good to share. I rarely write poems and the ones I've written have been a while back ago. This makes me more inspired.
