All that and more

Call me crazy.. call me a freak
Atleast my world's not as bleak

Within my glum-stricken aura.. somewhere in my dark world
When I'm all lost.. Walking that extra mile
Atleast I have my moments..
When i cheer and when i smile

Sad and low..
Suicidal and drowned in woe
I'm all confused.. Crushed to the core
But beyond what you can see.. I'm all that and more

Not just another awkward teen
Struggling through.. a close shave.. a scary skid
Not just the nerdy brainiac..
Nor just unstable enough to crack

I didn't chose.. Between that grin or my grim
I'm both.. the girl the showers heard sing
And the one the pillows saw drift off to sleep..crying

Deep and shallow..
Black and white.. not all that mellow
To just one shade I never swore
'Coz I'm all that and more..

A best friend.. your worst foe
I've been high.. even gone low
Acted immature.. your irresponsible brat
Also talked mature enough to shut up a bureaucrat

Fought my own battles.. cried for help
I could resign into silence..could even let out the shrillest yelp
I've had two left feet.. also kept my music on beat
I've ran out of words.. also scribbled for hours on that sheet

I've been into the water..
swam and sunk altogether
I've looked for a wave.. even sought the shore
For I'm all that and more

I'll keep to myself.. or my heart I'll pour..
For I've always been all that and more..

Of course, there's always more to any person that you meet. And this was an excellent way to portray that. There are often multiple sides to a person, the day I meet someone who doesn't will be the day I draw my own wings to life and fly off to tomorrow-morrow land. Haha... I miss that place...

Aanywaay... This one was just as amazing as the others that I've read from you, lets just face it. You're an incredible poet. *seethes jealousy* ... Haha, no, I love reading your works. Great write!

I Love the closing, it promises much

[WriterMe]

Ohkay first of all, I love the badges on your profile. I suppose that says a lot of who you are =]
Secondly, I think this poem was very well written and it was a good choice of words. Plus, I have a soft spot for poems with rhyme schemes.
Great work =]

A excellent poem. Your description was amazing. Detail and your story was very good. We struggle to find a place in this world. We must like our self and test the waters of life. Last line was perfect.
