I am not

Well I am not what I told you,
not defeaning and definitely not unfolding.
I am not full of fire, nor a ring of fire,
not perfect, not benign.
I am not the scented rose bloom and
I値l not cast another shadow in your room.
I am not the prize-winner you seek,
I知 no Marilyn on Easy Street.
You値l not see blond curls like this,
not hear a voice in perfect pitch.
never wonder why I slumber
and never be numbered.
I am just not what I told you,
not what you池e used to and not amusing.
I am a list of negatives,
engulfed no matter what day it is.
I won稚 talk you to death or bar the door,
I am not unlike my mother before.
What I am not is so many things
not content with not reaching my dreams
not a follower, not a leader
and mostly not what I agreed to
I知 listless and unsatisfied
I値l not allow my soul to be squandered by
another unknown unheard lullaby
I am not what I told you,
not defeaning and definitely not unfolding.
I am not full of fire, nor a ring of fire,
not perfect, not benign.
I am not the scented rose bloom and
I値l not cast another shadow in your room.

An hypnotic monologue - we are certainly a mass of contradictions and wrong turns, never what others think we are and only a glimpse of what we can be.

And yet seeing what you are not gives a bit of a look at what you are.
Thanks for the glimpse. I like this approach. |
