Who are you
Who am I to you.. Don't lie to me
So you want me to tell you about myself?
I have nothing to say.
and if I did, you’d be wrong to believe me
Trust is a lie.
does anyone ever really know anyone?
But there are people out there, who hate
( You know who you are)
and they divide
they feed off of people who don't fight back.
Yeah We could laugh this off
Like many do
But what about the one person who can't!
Who's gonna help them
Silence only makes them stronger.
(different take on who am I)

Is there a suite
that stands outside your door
smiling like a shark
whispering pious words
wearing the friendship badge
telling you
what you want to hear
as dubble edged words
throws a dark shadow
over the life’s
of the honest ones
who still stand
on the shores of your land
where the children
hold with skeletal hands
the tatted flag of humanity
outside the place
where you stand
waiting your turn
to vote
for the mad
that stands outside your door
smiling like a shark
whispering pious words
wearing the friendship badge
telling you
what you want to hear
as dubble edged words
throws a dark shadow

I Am Me
who am i?
i am me!
a fighter,
i fight for what is right,
for the ones i love,
and against those who,
try to hurt me.
Am a musician,
i play what i feel.
the music is life.
all good and bad.
Im insane!
but who isn't?
what can crazy do?
its what i am!
now what are you?
who am i?
i am me!

now what are you?
Who I am
You want to know who I am
I do too
I am so lost right now
So confused
It is time for a change
that you can count on
So who I am now
is in transition
What do you want to know?
My flaws and faults?
How about the good things
Oh wait I don't know them
You want to know who I am
I do too
I am so lost right now
So confused
It is time for a change
that you can count on
So who I am now
is in transition
What do you want to know?
My flaws and faults?
How about the good things
Oh wait I don't know them
amazing poems from all of you as expected :p
a stuttering laugh
using the chance
to pick my empty pockets
of cookie dough
and inhale a few
drops
of glass
cigarettes.
a diet soda
and Minnesota weather
pushing sewer-bound
mutant dogs
at unaltered
alters.
melting cheese puffs
and cellophane comfort
on green leather
flourishing brown hair
shiny lips
and only sometimes
clean fingernails.

I am...
laughter in the air
a child at the beach
a girl at the bar
a boy with a cigarette
a man with his dreams
a woman with her desires
I am...
existing in this world
a reflection in the mirror
a shadow on the wall
a midnight gasp of horror
a little girl's doll
a bereaved wife's sorrow
a husband's last regret
I am mere words
without which I am
nothing
but a huddled figure in a padded room
catching imagined swirling letters
circling my head.

nothing
responsible for the interpretation
of nothingness.
a moment of possibilities
wasted.
a prisoner of my choices
not chosen.
broken from moral judgment
imposed on me.
disengaged in a life made impossible
only by my dishonesty.
a coward pretending to be a hero,
my secret.
if you want to understand me
you will.
those of you who do not
will not.
i want to be free
from the justification and responsibility
towards others.
aware of myself makes me aware
of all of you.
unable to admit absolute truth
i am nothing.
a casualty of my original choice.

Inside a Smile, Exists another Self
Let's play the fool.
A clown with ditzy brains.
Loud, outgoing,
Occasionally smart.
But lets play the fool,
me, myself, and I.
No real though betrays the lips,
only smiles with cherry lies.
A clumsy little fool.
You quiet little girl,
it's the only way to be heard.
Play the fool,
speak aloud,
live inside another shell.
Then go home,
lay in bed,
and forget the world itself.
No longer the fool,
but a morbid thought on feet.

i am a Son of Most High
He in i know no lie
in He i now have favor
once a scoundrel until recently touched by an Angel
raised in the back of a gambling shack
only friends were my closest of ken
in a constant state of hustle
spent many of my younger years as a door to door salesman
now as a Poet
i stand on point and principle
no ways perfect
but a Souljah for He who is
pleased to know i been made this way by design
all praised to the Father
for i am who I isssss.....
8^/ Daddy's lil Souljah

I am I
Do not change me
Condemn me
nor put me down
Accept me for what I am
No...you need not agree with me
But accept me
for I am total in being
I have my faults
I have my guilt's
But that is who I am
Perfect I will never be
Allow me to be uninhibited
Do not pressure me into feeling
what I do not feel
Accept me when I am flying high
As I have accepted you when you were flying high
Do not put me down...nor
make me fell unhappy about me
I am I
and I like being what I am
ME
Do not change me
Condemn me
nor put me down
Accept me for what I am
No...you need not agree with me

Perfect I will never be
Allow me to be uninhibited

I Am Me
by ~UnleashedHeathen
I was born to be a poet
I realized it, I know it
Poetry is in my soul
It lives within me, It is my home
Everything I look at, Everything I see
Gives me something to tell you, Something you can read
The mirror I look into shows all of my shameful cracks
But that`s another poem to write, Showing you the character I lack
We are the youth of the nation
We tell our own story
That is why I chose photography
I guess It`s it expressed
I look and let my mind and soul do the rest
My mind is filled with new ideas every day
Photography and poetry is my life. That is what this poem should convey
