Self awareness

creative writing 1 Minute 
 Strength can be far more than  
 It could ever seem to be seen as  
 Beyond the mere pall of words  
 By those living their dreams
 Some of us are still waiting   
 You know my name, certainly  
 But in reality, you don’t know me
 How normally strange is that?  
 Nor do you know what I’m feeling
 Cause you never think to ask  
 It feels all too sad, getting close
 Like some invisible ghost   
 To what remains out of reach
 That changes everything- I am   
 That ultimate clasp of hands
 That can stir mountain and oceans   
 If only, if only, oh baby- if only  
 Somewhere present other than
 That space inside my own mind  
 Sometimes It feels like I’m darkness
 While I’m standing in the lights  
 Surrounded, by these people I know  
 But who seem to have forgotten, me  
 And then I feel my heart falter  
 Crumbling- piece by piece  
 In rampant successions of flutters  
 Oh- God knows- I try to hide
 Inside myself when I close my eyes
 As I spiritually cling by myself
 To my own silent desperation- hope
 Inside my cold clenched palms
 While my soul bleeds in lost teardrops  
 Waiting for all of it to simply pass
 And I can go back to… pretending

I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart. I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.
