Illusions

Just one of my old poems, thought I would repost it. :)

Illusions


When you think of me
Just what do you see
A picture of something
Or is it a tree?


In your minds eye
Theres a vague idea, thats true
Of what to expect
Then why be so blue


I am just a person
That much you know
Beauty is as they say,
 For the beholder to show!


I am what I am
That's all I can be
And if that's not enough
Then just give it to me


But am I so real
To have and to hold
Should I shrink back
Not be so bold


A friend is a friend
That can be true
Forever is long
Time heals the blues


Am I but an illusion
Something you wish were real
Time will only tell
How you truly could feel

Illusions can come in many forms, I am sometime a victim of such to the point of believing and have found I need to decipher what’s real from what’s not even love can be an illusion or guide you away from a true love. I can identify with this piece and like how it comes together.
Excellent write.

we all need to find acceptance in this life and nothing more painful than to not be

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I am what I am
That's all I can be
And if that's not enough
Then just give it to me

A very bold statement... we all are always more then meets the eye... we know how we are misjudge for the way we look or some of our actions and yet we still make the mistake of misjudging others.
