this one came to me last weekend in the early morining. i love the mornings, they are when i am most creative, receptive... alive :D not the best poem but it's from the heart
oh, and some background: i've came out to most everyone i really love. i have tons of friends/acquaintances who i haven't told, and i posted this on my facebook as sort of a pre-coming out. baby steps :D i hope you enjoy!
i'm finding myself, and sharing with you
to all of my true friends
will our love ever end?
i'm telling you now
so one day you'll know
that i was not me
pretending to be
a something i'm not
but don't get distraught
it's harder for me
than you can percieve
so don't feel lied to
and you can cry too
we're still best of friends
'cas that's what we do
the person i was
continues to be
a large part of me
in fact it's still me
but i have long known
that how i had grown
did not fit my soul
i paid a great toll
by trying to hold
and not being bold
but then i gave up
forgot all the stuff
they teach you in school
and tell you its rule
my cage was unlocked
and happiness brought
accepting myself
and what i had known
was harder than thought
but through this i've grown
so now i will share
for those who do care
because i love you
i can't be untrue
i must be myself
so we won't grow far
imagine my hair
has got a new style
pretend that my face
has got a new smile
because this is true
i'm starting anew
my life didn't end
it's starting again
for the haters:
if u disown me
or want to poke fun
you'll lose a great friend
cas i'm having none
A lovely poem, Jo. It speaks to me personally.
