Dare

Dare

A Poem by Rachel DeHart

I have a habit of changing too fast,

wirlwinning myself in circles till up is down

and I can’t even tell you who I was before this town.

i am the easiest person to forget,

because there isn’t anything solid here to start

with.     

I am quickly shifting and edgy

for some change.

come on now.

I dare you to try to face me.

see that               flicker

right behind my eyes?

that feeling of nausea in your stomach

when you get too close?

                                its cause i am too much.

I am bursting from the seams and you are

not going to survive this. I promise you, okay?

 

now take a step back.

a deep breath, you’re going to

need to prepare for this.

                                I will not be here

                                like this again

                so take it all in.

I

am

not

like

every

other mind l e s s  carbon copy

robot your are in love with.

There is a metallic taste to my kiss

only because of the blood I have spilled.

I am dangerous.

That razor blade they tell you not

to walk, but here you are anyway.

 

every moment will be your last

I am that phenix fire they warn you about.

I will burn you down

and we’ll be       reborn again.

I really like it :] You'll have to explain reason behind it soon.

I really liked this:
"every moment will be your last
I am that phenix fire they warn you about.
I will burn you down
and we'll be reborn again."

And

"I
am
not
like
every
other mind l e s s carbon copy
robot your are in love with."

Awesome :]

I can't stop loving it, read twice already. It's so full of energy, strenght and savage wilderness, it really dazzles me. I might even turn around and become someone I never were before. Great write!

Fantastic poem! I love it, but i have a very small suggestion, even more of a small mind-bubble of sort - you can easily remove the three word line "I am dangerous", it slightly ruins the mood, it's really unnecessary, i think. but tre rest of the poem is so lifeful, moving and reminds me of a true masterpiece of impressionism!
