Come as you are

come as you are

come peace come war

come madness come reason

come faithful come treason

come jealousy come fantasy

come chaos and democracy

come lie come cry

come silence and sigh 

come today come dismay 

come blind white light come gray

come as you are 

come cigarettes come tar

come freedom come prison

come medicine come poison

come passion come death

come pure with your filth 

and look me in the eye

smile and don't deny 

but come as you are 

come as you are

come innocent come sin

bring them demons all within

come darkness come beam

come and I will redeem

no hidden identity 

no mistaken reality

waste no time 

make no rhyme 

just be there

with heavy smoke and air 

and for once be real 

be what you can feel

drop it your mask

for no one will ask

for no one would dare 

for no one does care

Author's Note

It's been a while since I wrote a poem, this may not be good, but reviews are welcomed.

Yes it has been sometime since you last wrote a poem.. but this poem is outstanding! Yes true it's not like the rest of your poems but its good. You did a great job on the rhyme and I like the need of honesty in it.
My favorite part is:
"just be there
with heavy smoke and air
and for once be real
be what you can feel

drop it your mask
for no one will ask
for no one would dare
for no one does care"

Thank you my dear, I'm really glad you liked it. Honesty has been always the key, but this time it's undressed of all poetic additions, just naked truth, without "decorations".

Couldn't agree more
Well done

[Coyote Poetry]

A lot of situation and actions in this poem. It felt like a roll call for the people of the world. I like how you led to a good ending.
"drop it your mask

Thank you Coyote, I always find your reviews supportive, I was spelling out naked truth and I thought it would be right to ask the same.
Thanks again,
Mohammad.
