Look At Me

See me?
Can you see?
Can you see me
  in front of you?
Do you see me?
What do you see
  when you see me?
Do you see who I see
  when I look at me?
Do you see who
I want you to see?
Is it me?
Do you know
  who I am?
Or do you see
  who I want me to be?

Look at me.
Is this just my part?
  just a role
  just some game?
What’s my name?
Am I your mascot
  your jester
  your pet?
Your mouse in a cage?
Am I running
  on a wheel
going nowhere?
Will you follow?
  will you guide me
  or lead?
Do you love me?
Will you hold me
  and feed me?
Do you need me?

Can you see me?

    • I remember a creative writing teacher in college who said, “Writing poetry isn’t easy. Unless it’s bad poetry … a lot of people are very good at that.” I know that by posting poems I’m potentially demonstrating how good I am at being really bad. So it’s nice to get some positive feedback. Thank you, I appreciate it.
