Poetry: Self-image

Am I Forgettable?



I'm the shy type.
A good person lurking,
Under a quiet exterior.
Did you bother looking for the real me?
I was just under the surface.
There, because it's my nature.
Secretly, inside crying out for you to notice me.
You might have found a friend,
Had you not written me off so quickly.
Forgotten about me in an instant.
Too self-important for a second look.
I guess I can't blame you.
Did you know any better?
One day I'll get over my bashful complexion.
I'll grow out of this self-conscious temperament.
Become brave, demand people's attention.
I hope you shed your holier than thou' posturing in time.
All I can say is until then, forget you.

    This is where I happen to be finding me
    I am seeing the highlights of my hair
    And feeling

    Coming up silver




    I've drawn a blank for awhile
    tripped, even tip-toed
    over forming my style
    dipped deeper
    into my shallow hold
    pushed

    My life has become a brittle bouquet

    Of dead red roses and rapid decay

    And all that I thought one day I would be

    Is
