The World I See

This is not technically a poem, just a...thing? I don't really know what to call it.

I don't see the world the way you do. You have your eyes and I have mine, which is fine, just don't think I'm blind.
I don't see me the way you do. You see an everybody, sometimes a nobody, but in truth I'm a somebody.
I don't see you the way you do. You see you in a mirror, but when you get nearer, the truth is much clearer.
I don't see them the way you do. You see them as these ones, some look like those ones, but most are just no ones.
I don't see us the way you do. You see we as a clan, I see a band, soldiers marching to a foreign land.
Now suppose that I saw you while you saw me, and the world watched on as we shared our sight. What would they see then?

85.Who

Hello again, today is Sunday, December 9, 2012. When people ask me who I am, I usually have no answer. But even with no response, I know that I'm a person, I know I am.

Mirror, Mirror

#household Mirror, mirror, on the wall, Who employed you for your call. Who's to say your eye knows best, And that your judgement's naught but jest.

Imagine

Imagine all it could be. Darling you may never know. You see the rain,but I see the sun. You see the sad,I see the happy. You see the dark, I see the light.You see the frown, I see the smile.

He Walks Amongst Us

He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us. That's what the words say, But not what they mean. Is this a stranger in town, Someone so isolated that even his friends do not recognise him.

Sense

I stand, my face against the wind,. A sentinel of ages,. My eyelids shut, my mouth closed tight,. And trace words on the pages,. My soul a pen, the world a book,.

Where Are We?

Somewhere between love and hate. Somewhere between peace and violence. Between random and fate. Between anger and calm. Somewhere between the ocean and the land. Between safety and harm.

Complex.

People try to sum up their life,. With songs, words or pictures,. But if your mind is partly complex,. I guess it would be a mixture,. Not one line can describe me,. No word is perfectly right,.

Doing Nothing

I write with white ink on white paper. I speak with my lips firmly shut. I strum on my stringless guitar. I read from an unwritten book. I think without aim or direction.
