Self Portrait

Self Portrait

A Poem by Lexi Richard

"I am Lexi"
I am messy hair
I am many scribbles
I am foggy stares

I am murky eyes
I am murky mind
I am 4/5 sugar
I am 1/5 spice

I am iced mocha
I am pen between teeth
I am Venus
I am "just breathe"

I am ocean waves
I am tall pines
I am Cassiopeia
I am 7:00 pm skies

"I am Lexi"
I am up until 3
I am 10,000 thoughts and
I am beginning

-l.r.

A creative portrait of 'self'. Nicely worded, dear poet.

I remember writing poems like this. The whole point is to come up with really creative and unique imagery, and I think for the most part you've done that here.
Side note, where'd you get Cassiopeia? That's a character in one of my novels lol

Thank you! And I used Cassiopeia because it's a constellation and I'm really fascinated in astronomy.. read more

It absolutely lovely. It is a self-portrait painted in words. It is a very brilliant idea. Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to reading more works.

Thank you so much!
I love how the title makes you think it's something so basic, and then you wrote something that is so different and nicely written.

Simple and innocent. Not much to say because not much to change about a poem that lists your qualities. Nice write.

Thank you:)
The self Portrait, open, honest, and leaves little room for interpretation . . . I am? A question many fail to ask themselves, and often times people lie to themselves. It take someone content in their being to say, this is me, love it or hate it, but this is me.
