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.

    Revival

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
