Wordless Poetry; Ode to Confidence

I want to contort my body in such a way, to express my stiffness.

I want to show someone the delicate, glass-like nature of my voice, without speaking to them.

I want to show someone the warmth of my physical embrace, without touching them,

And I want them to soak in the enormous amount of happiness that I’ve collected, without ever letting them see me smile.

 

I want someone to shudder in my presence, because I have the world to offer.

 

I want them to see the sparkling crystals in my eyes that could light up a black hole, even while I’m sleeping.

 

I want to ensure someone of my stunning beauty that illuminates on the darkest of Halloween nights, while I’m wearing the scariest of masks.

 

I want someone to be aware of my artistic potential, even when my canvas is blank,

 

And I want them to know the rainbow of colors in my life, although the shirt i'm wearing is white.

 

I want people to see the flower buds that blossom with my touch, keeping in mind my lack of experience in maintaining a garden.

 

I want to think I’m pretty without being called self absorbed.

I want to feel confident without being considered as insensitive.

I want to be nice without being accused of my so called innocence.

I want to believe in science without being told that I’m going to hell.

I want to love life without being questioned about my hidden sorrows.

I want to promote peace without being called a hypocrite

 

And, I want to write a poem, without using any words.

Wow, this is An amazingly written metaphor that edifies the reader with inspiring effects,
I for one feel uplifted after absorbing the motivating imagery and the sense of taking control of destiny
knowing that happiness can be achevied when looking at possiblities with a positive perspective.

"Everyone" is a rather encompassing term. There are a great amount of people who might benefit if some others in this world felt a little worse about themselves. I could start with a list of dictators, murderers and self-serving politicians to accentuate my logic but I don't think it necessary as by now I will have made my point. I found the content of the piece quite enjoyable. The desire and need for acceptance is a primal instinct for survival. But even if we lay bare the human soul; is there another soul brave enough to touch it? If we wear our heart on our sleave and the sleave is torn, then what? But I think a good many of these items in this piece are reasonable to have on a wish list in a personal relationship. And from what I've read I do think you should be able to feel great about yourself. Well written and introspective, the writing inspires the philosophic nature of the reader. Kudos on this.

This makes me think of wanting to be accepted for who I am and not for what people want me to be. It is hard to find anyone to view you like this poem. If you find that person keep them because they see your soul. I loved the comparisons in this poem especially writing a poem without using words, you can do it too, just use your eyes.. Excellent write.
