If you want to know me

Scribbled this down last night as I was going to sleep

If you want to know me

You will call me by my name

 

If you want to know me

You won't silence me in disgrace

 

If you want to know me

You will never give me pain

 

If you want to know me

You will never have a double face

 

If you want to know me

You will always speak plain

 

If you want to know me

You will never drive me from a place

 

And If you want to know me

I will treat you the same

 

 

Author's Note

Tell me the truth now. This is my first poem in two months and probably only the sixth I've ever written.

Like Bluessadmood said, it's obvious what you're dealing with. Poetry is the one thing that shows us transparently to the reader. It's a personal thing. Poetry is part of my breathing. Everything I do, is scribbled into a piece of poetry. Now, I know that has nothing to do with what you wrote. Forgive me. I was quite thrilled to see that you posted a piece of poetry. It caught me off guard actually. I do not think you are bad. If you can write books, you have the talent to do poetry. Okay. Here is my advice: Keep writing poetry. You would, probably, post better pieces than me. And, with time, you will find it to be like breahting. Keep writing S.D. You have a talent in books and poetry. Both are good. You may like one more than the other; but the other should not be a closed and locked door. I think you need to keep going. Of course, unless you do not like it. I would understand that. . .
Never mind.
Write me on when we can talk again. . . It's has been three of fours days, maybe more. Have a great night!

I like it. It does flow a little weird but not a bad weird. It feels like it was written from a familiar place. im not sure how to put that in the right words but i guess it feels like its something you been through. Its a nice poem though i like it alot. Nice work!

this is thoroughly well written and expressed with focus on the idea, and never
swaying in course, the intropsective lesson is one we should all know,
the do unto others law of moral. keep up the great work.

It was nice. The rhyming rhythm didn't flow in places but that's alright, poetry is about writing what you feel and not having to worry about what other people have to say about the subject. ^^ I hope you write more. I enjoyed this one. ^^ Keep it up.
