Who Am I? or Rainbow Pineapple

Who am I?
All alone in this room full of family,
All alone with a forgotten cake on my lap.
When I get home, I'll just have a kitten on my arm
Digging little claws in to my skin.
Who am I?
Trapped in a body I don't want.
Loving myself but hating who I am.
I have a glass of half drunk water
And I miss soda even if I didn't like the taste.
Who am I?
A girl that wishes for more but wants less.
A rainbow of color that needs help to see the light.
A pineapple reading weird stories on the computer.
A Gerry lost in the dessert.
Who Am I?
Brightness to cover up the dark.
A flashing Christmas tree to and joy to your holiday.
Sensational words spoken softly.
Cold ice cubs falling down the back of your shirt.
Is that me?
Am I all those things wrapped up to form
A ball of 14 year old girl?
Will I always be those things?
Or will I lose it one day,
Lose myself like everyone else.
I don't want to lose myself.
I want to stay the rainbow pineapple forever.

Poet at Industrial Colosseums Unbound
Says:
Wonderfully imaginative title!
"Who am I to need you when I'm down?
Where are you when I need you around?
Your life is not your own
And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again
Who am I to need you now?
To ask you why, to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories"
-Smashing Pumpkins "Crestfallen"
Good imagery,
Well written free verse,
And good word usage "pineapple.
Well done!

Great poem. There is a part of us that changes and a part that stays the same no matter what we do. I hope for happiness in your future no matter what changes. |
