What is it that you see?
I can see by the look on your face
that you don’t know what it is you see.

I would say that I'm nothing
but that isn’t true.
I can’t tell you what I am
but I know what I’m not.

My life it has purpose and structure
I’m not gunna throw it away
over some accident that’s my fault.
I can live with the consequences of my actions.
I can deal with the fact that I did what I did.
But you can’t see that can you?

All you can see is that I screwed
and now I need to be punished.
As if a month isn’t long enough
I gotta go a year and a half.
I would say that’s over kill
but it’s what the state threw at me.

When I come outta this
imma be stronger then ever.
You just wait and see
I’ll amaze you
Hell I may even shock you. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 65 [informant] => Poetic_Soul_of_Iowa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

This is What I See

Take a look at me

I’ll amaze you
Hell I may even shock you.

Very nicely written, with a good sense of prose and nuance.

Please check out my latest poem 'Don't Worry' by Frankcube.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
