Hi, I just joined. Heres a sample of my poetry. I do a lot of free verse, and most of the time acompany it with pictures (one of my hobbies is photography). Please make comments on my poetry, I love input. Thank you.


Identity


who are you?
More than a name,
More than a label,
More than a look.

personality is a Mixture
between drab grey pebbles,
and beautiful gemstones

is it the gemstones that define who you are?
or the pebbles?
or is it the mix that defines out True self?

what makes a true self?
how You think you are?
or how others percieve you?
or is it somewhere in netween?
amongst the Mix of pebbles and gemstones.

the pebbles are
drab

dreary

dull

dismal

depressing
gemstaones are
remarkable

radiant

regal

romantic

and rare


gemstones are hidden in some people,
thought they have many
below the pebbles they hide them
and you must dig to find their Beauty

Others have their few
but place them on the surface
for all to see
and gaze at, and wonder at

but Underneath

the only thing

You see are Pebbles

in a world of Identity,
Labels
Cliques,
Classes,
and Ranks

No One Knows Where They Belong
Or What Their Identity Is.
