Who they want me to be

O Romeo

my love

my life

my savior

I speaketh through my metaphors

I whisper my lies

Romeo, my dearest Romeo

sing to me, keepest me alight

I spew forth dramatic words and phrases to keep them pleased

but, O Romeo, whenever shall it cease?

My heart beats and threatens to break

whilst there are multitudes of lives at stake.

So, alas, I am but a wee thing,

spitting out poems day and night

whatever must I look like

I shall guess that I must make quite a sorry sight.

  • Who I am

    The gray area between dark and light

    dancing in and out of different shades

    sentimental

    snarky

    indignant

    I am myself

    and the world gets to

    deal with it

    don't hide my personality

  • This country

    The United States of America

    as seen on the binding documents, on formal things

    USA

    as said by random people you know

    The US

    as told by your parents
