I was thinking about who I am yesterday and wrote this...
What Made Me
I recently took
a long journey.
A trip into
my own psyche.
My past makes
who I am.
This one cliche
is no sham.
At the beginning
of my memory
I had little
fear, much curiosity.
Next stage was
middle school hell.
I thought math,
science, some male.
My fathers death
brought me dread,
depression, no love,
loneliness, pure hatred.
Then high school
gave me friends,
freedom, some brains,
no status, lisence.
Texas supplied me
with important closure,
a fullfiled dream,
joy, openness, Homer.
I still have
from pieces to
all of these,
this is true.
These elements built
my persona today.
New ones come,
old forever stays.
My Darkness
In life I was just like you.
I was healthy, pure and true.
You still look at me the same,
Not knowing my history or name.
The night reveals who I am.
I stay as quiet as a lamb.
My presence is barely seen.
Only when hungry am I mean.
Your smell lures me to you.
I feel my food flowing thru.
I find the perfect spot to feed.
You have exactly what I need.
I thrive from the pulse of life.
There is no use for a knife.
My talent gets what I desire.
Night and blood is all I require.
