The Me Inside

It is big.

Frikkie... is trying to keep me alive... 

I breathe when I get out of this house... My heart beats when I witness something beautiful... 

My blood flows when I indulge in music... 

I feel when I'm free... 

I think when there's light, and even when there's darkness... 

I see when I rest... 

I become alive when awesomeness contacts me...

I create when there's space... 

I fix when there's brokenness... 

I expand when this is not enough... 

I intensify when words arent the answer... 

I break something when reconstruction is due... 

I'm soft like a fluffy puffy cushion...

I'm hard like a concrete slab... 

I melt when my sun shines...

I freeze when my own light dies... 

I love when the earth turns... 

I hate when life is corrupted... 

I speak when silence is wanted but not required... 

I am silent when presence says enough... 

I look when I want to see... 

I take when I know its for me to take... 

I explore because what's the use of seeing what has been seen?..

I give when I have and I try when I don't... 

I hide when storms arrive and even just for warmth... 

I jump when everyone sits down... 

I say yes when everyone say no... 

I laugh when you think I should cry... 

I smile when you think I should frown... 

I wake up because the sun is out... 

I sleep because I'd die if I don't...

...If you know me you would never lie, never worry and never die. For in these words will remain the essense of your life... 

If I die, the world is not enough, and if I die... life is not worth living. For in these eyes are the persuit of perfection, the conclusion of life, the reason why I am me and you are you.

Frikkie knows me.. 

For I am him

But that is just the name my parents gave me

The real me is underneath this skin

this is a lovely piece. i think the theme of the poem (being more than what you portray to others? not sure if that's what you were going for) is a feeling we can all relate to. or at least, i can relate to it. well done, sir.
