Alice in Wonderland with the caterpillar who smokes the hooka, and blows in his smoke rings the question…’Who…are…you…?’ ~ A difficult question to answer…
I.
If I was me
Who would I be?
If I was the I, I
Wanted to be, looking
At me, what would I see?
If I’m not me,
Then who am I, who
Am I hiding, and for
What reason, why?
Am I ashamed
Of becoming the me
That is I? Yes to the question..
I hide me sky-high.
Yes, high in the sky,
High as a kite
So high was I, I was
Not me, that’s right.
Me, who is that, who is me
Who is she?
She must have been someone,
Somebody has seen me..
Who that is, I know its
Not I, it’s not I or me
Who has seen me or I.
Then who, I ask, has seen me,
Has seen I..
Who am I? I’ve been wondering..
Why.

For more great pieces, go to FROM THE DARK. It is an excellent blog with some very real & bold poetry. There is a piece written that reminds me very much of this piece of mine. It is called It Was One and you can get there by clicking the link provided! Enjoy!
I’m really glad you made a pingback to this. This poem is amazing. I have a wall in my bedroom that is covered in all of my favourite poems. This is going up there as soon as I get home from work. Amazing.
I think yours is awesome too! I had to mention you on Tryst because our pieces share the same emotion, I think, and I love to display the different writing styles. I’m honored to be on your wall darling! Muchos gracias! ~ Jen
