Personifications


 I  am aspirations           		
   of killing apathy
   pushed aside for practicality. 	

I am risking 
   just to be me
   somewhat openly. 

I am collecting thoughts	
   relishing them, and	
   writing them down

I am laughter
   so intense and uncontrollable 
   leaving you helpless. 


I am impulsive
   within strict bounds. 


I am daydreams 
   so very vivid	
   they could be memories.	

I am collages, 			
   moody, melancholy music	
   and poor poetry.

I am mix tapes
   and missing . . . but
   trying to move on.

   cards and stubs, 
   smells and pictures. 
		 

I write in ink, but
   live in pencil. 



I am letters			
   sent or stayed
   or prayed

  short-lived passionate determination
    instant action or give up.

   acknowledged naiveté 
   hinders decision.

   you like me
   and I’ll love you.

   by invincible honesty.

   after running but
   before crying

I am idealized
   but not really
   expecting to realize. 

I am a maze
   at the moment
   I’m as lost as anyone. 

I am effort
   but never just enough
   to achieve.
