Are I...

Paper cranes are flying around
Fluttering in the breeze.
The smell of raisen toast
Buttered to perfection.
The click of a mechanical pencil
The glimse of a robin
The wish of me.
The wishes of me.
Are I someone who is unique and common
Or normal and weird?
Are I me or you or a mixture of what I wish
Or am I out of my hands?
What if my skeloton jumped out of my body and roamed this place?
No.
That wouldn't be.
I like me.
I like me too much for I to jump out of me.
I like my hair.
It tangles
It wrangles
It make's me scream in frustration
But it's I.
I like my skin
It's filled with imperfections
And bit's
But it's I.
I like my eyes
Dark
Rich soil brown
A bit tired around the edges
And a bit arragent.
But it's I.
I like me,
Yes,
But I prefer I.
Purple hair is me
But I like mine
Dark and pale.
Smooth and firm skin is me
But I like mine's mocha shade.
Changing and twisting eyes
That you can't pin down,
Is me,
But I like mine.
I just do.
To not like I is tiring
And it makes me a bit sadder.
To like I is to bring in some light
To dust off my happiness
To brag about my me.
My me is my I,
Not an image of art.
Not a sound of art.
Not a thing of art.
Not a word of art.
Not a piece of art.
My I is me and I like it.
You is not me
Yours is not mine
You are not I.
Don't try to become another's I
Don't try to become another's me
Don't try to become another's;
Try and become an I
Or a me
Or maybe both.
Don't be a you.
Be an I.
Are I to be a you?
No.
I am an I.
You are a you.
You are not I
I are not you.
I am I.
I like I.
I am me.
So do it.
You be you.
I'll be I.
I'm waiting.
Good luck.

  • Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    It is a tough little plant;
    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.
  • List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.
  • Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
