"Me"

I saw a poem on here like this so I figured I would put mine up. I wrote it several years ago. So be gentle. ;)

I am me.
I am nothing but,
the persona of my creativity,
the result of my delusional genius,
aftermath of licentious years,
reckless abandonment of youth and intellect;
an interlude intertwining passionate dreams,
embodiment of infinite fantasy.
I am what I want to see.
A reflection of definitive imagery,
extension of one’s heresy,
conflicting ideas and constant hypocrisy.
I am not blind to what I am,
for you will find a little of me in everybody,
a little of everybody in me.
I am a lover, a hypocrite and a liar,
harsh honesty and brutal reality,
yet I live in constant fantasy,
a fabrication of originality and vagary.
I am the Christian and the sinner.
I do not wish to be anyone else,
nor shall I impose my life on you.
For I am who I am,
I am nothing but.
I am me.

"I am what I want to see." I can relate fully to this, and I love the contrasting elements in this poem, like "I am the Christian and the sinner."

I like who you are and I liked this write. There is nobody else we can be, no matter how hard we try but ourselves. Great write.
