CHosing who you are
Looking up you can see my face,
Its not the face of the name I was given,
Olivia is not who I am.
I no longer go by that name,
A face thats eyes are crazed and dark,
Lacking sleep is a given dark bags streach under my eyes,
Lips no longer smiling,
But chaped and cracked.
You may ask who I am now,
I am Amber,
Yet how long with she last,
It is only a fleeting life,
Why waste time on time as one who does not matter to yourself,
Even if it is yourself you are throwing away?
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
