YouA Poem by jessiemeiI originally didn't have a title for this one...
You whisper thanks to the wind for bearing witness to your thoughts You give sympathy to the trees for holding your ground You split yourself into two; a split personality Into two so you can run far away while you can still hold a seat You make hiding attractive and finding you fun When really it’s your nature to find comfort to run Our hearts are like children, eager and scared Your soul is like a vault with a non-existent key Rather, you seduce others to deceive yourself So it’s you against yourself and you always conquer You seem to have the power to choose the voyagers of your heart You call them with your eyes and beckon with affection Like a cobra, you strike with precision and with extreme power But your power is unseen, unfelt but oh so endearing But the voyagers come and go and it is heavily misunderstood For when change occurs, you hide even further into your solitude But you always come out on top…don’t you? The most attractive of prey but deep inside…a predator of a different kind. © 2009 jessiemeiAuthor's Note
