Array ( [sid] => 121167 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I am not [time] => 2006-06-02 13:41:45 [hometext] => The only idea coming to me to write here is a NIN song... [bodytext] => Well I am not what I told you,
not defeaning and definitely not unfolding.
I am not full of fire, nor a ring of fire,
not perfect, not benign.
I am not the scented rose bloom and
I値l not cast another shadow in your room.

I am not the prize-winner you seek,
I知 no Marilyn on Easy Street.
You値l not see blond curls like this,
not hear a voice in perfect pitch.
never wonder why I slumber
and never be numbered.

I am just not what I told you,
not what you池e used to and not amusing.
I am a list of negatives,
engulfed no matter what day it is.
I won稚 talk you to death or bar the door,
I am not unlike my mother before.

What I am not is so many things
not content with not reaching my dreams
not a follower, not a leader
and mostly not what I agreed to
I知 listless and unsatisfied
I値l not allow my soul to be squandered by
another unknown unheard lullaby

I am not what I told you,
not defeaning and definitely not unfolding.
I am not full of fire, nor a ring of fire,
not perfect, not benign.
I am not the scented rose bloom and
I値l not cast another shadow in your room.

An hypnotic monologue - we are certainly a mass of contradictions and wrong turns, never what others think we are and only a glimpse of what we can be.

And yet seeing what you are not gives a bit of a look at what you are.
Thanks for the glimpse. I like this approach.

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. ツゥ
