Maybe it is just you...

This poem is about that kind of person that is never happy with what they have.. at some point you know you can't please them.

The dress don't fit so you split the seams

now you're naked in your dreams

The shoes are tight so you take them off

Somethings stuck in your throat and it's not just a cough.

Maybe it's you,

that you're running from,

it's a different instrument

not just another drum.

You don't know the lyrics, but you can't just hum.

The Glass is too tall so you spill the drink

The Thought is too big so you don't think.

The bed is made but you can not lie..

The sun is not the only thing in this sky.

The thought sounds false

but I think it's true

maybe , I'm wrong

but maybe it's you.

Theres nothing more annoying than having to listen to
a person whine about their self inflicted drama. lol.

People have a variety of character within them...it can be positive or negative ...it is all left to the one who can realize that the negative holds them down...

nice work on this view of your thoughts...

[Ricky L. Walters]

It is truly my greatest joy to be so close to my source. It would be beautiful even if it didn't hold the personal meaning that it does for me.

[clemon73]

Great work. Love the flow, almost like a song.

[Tate Morgan]

Oh I loved this bravo
tate

[Kenny L. Mitchell]

I shall "have at it." This reminds me of spoken word. Actually one of my favorite types of artistic expression. You truly are flowing here. I know quite a few people who are like this you describe. Sad actually. But I am impressed with this work.

[An owl on the moon]

There is such a beautiful lyric quality to your writing, with the feeling of such sadness moving through the words and meanings. Powerful sense of a life on the edge.

[Lady Lazarus.]

wow...I'm actually agape reading this....the kind of poem that means something different to everyone who reads it.To me it seems like the story of being forced into being something you're unable to be..grasping for something others can't or don't want to see....A wondrous piece that is the piece of a true poet...kudos on the fantastic work

[Hippy]

i like this here i dislike how people don't own up for there s**t

[RainyDay]

Okay, I'm not going to dissect this and give you a meaning for your poem that you already know, so I'm just going to say how great I thought this was. It is maybe (no wait, definitely) the best poem I have read here on Writer's Café. And I've been here a good while and reviewed quite a few great poems! This is kind of song-lyric like, in that it has a great rhythm to it and it's messgae is a little obscure but still relatable. I really enjoyed it- you relly do create images with your words.

I am a ridiculous writer! I cannot even begin to describe this happiness I felt while reading your words-like a mini-epiphany! Oh well. Maybe I'll try another language?! How about...C'est magnifique!!

Really- Great write, I will be coming back for more.
