Just me

All I'll ever be
Is JUST me

Whether I change or grow
Or stay sound and slow

Should I learn something new
Or never change my view

Even if my dreams should fly
Or sink away while I cry

I can be nothing more
Nothing less
A hopeful insignificant light
Or a confused mess

I can be nothing less
Just a wisp of flame
On a candle of moments
Behind an antique frame

All I'll ever be
Is JUST me
Truth, lies, and dreams
Open, but never free.

This was one of those fist-poundingly, adreneline (Gaw, can't spell it)-rushing, WHOO-DEE-DOO-ing pieces of work that you just have to love because it's got such a fantastic independent buzzy aggressive vibe -- Double thumbs up for this, really enjoyed it, ThankYe Verily for the read ! <3

Sweet poem. Love simple rhymes. It wasn't too revealing about yourself at the same time it was personal particularly the ending. Nice work. :)

I'm not a maniac. Psychiatric a bit maybe, but not a maniac :) Unless you count my driving some days. But I don't, so nah nah nah.
