I am

I am the strength of day and the peace of night.

I wonder if I'll ever breathe.

The worry of the world smoothers me.

A veiled blue lives on my cheeks.  

I hear the soft humming on screeching streets reminding me of what could be.

I stand outside a translucent fence.

I want woolly blankets and a blazing fire

Cold brings the world together.  

I am cold.

I pretend the truth,  

   filling in the stars I know are there                              I feel the tender waves grazing my feet,

a soft reminder of what matters

I touch the wispy clouds flying in the sky,

soaring with me

I direct my worry at the towering mountain,

it is my rock

I cry with the dreary desert,

we have no tears to give

I am the universe

I understand the lies better than the truth

The world likes to hide

I am not an exception

I say miniscule words that contain colossal meanings

like russian nesting dolls

I dream of joyus dances and flowers the shade of rainbows

I hope for open hearts,and minds

I am human

This was a good poem. You did a great job of diving into your feelings, what they mean, what brought them on, and you tied it all together perfectly in the end. You had a good balance of lyrical lines without letting them distract from your overall message. Good work. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for the review. I was a little nervous to post this because it was something I wrote awhile ago and my writing style has changed since then hense, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This wasn't half bad. I couldn't give you a single interpretation of it because I would say multiple perspectives could be saying it at once, but I admire writing that exists because it has something to say, and that's basically what this poem is. One big statement.

Really good.

I'm glad you like it
