Literature Text

I am that beauty that stretches on your face
And I am that dreamer who's of a different race
I am that smile that you seem to want
And I am that frown that only seems to taunt
I am that one singer that no one seems to know
And I am that old man who had to go
I am the sweater that holds you tight
And I am the question you never get right

I am the child on the stage for a play
And I am the fresh breeze that never wants to stay
I am that one friend you never want to lose
And I am that bandage covering that bruise

I am the things that you need and more
And I am the way you walk out and the way you slam the door
I am the stuffy that stands on the shelf
And I am that one kid who hates himself
I am that song that you've just forgotten
And I am that apple that's just gone rotten

I am the wind, on a cold summers day
And I am that dancer alone on the bay
I am the one gig you get here and there
And I am the teacher who isn't quite fair

I am the tears that fall on your cheek
And I am the pipe line that let out a leek
I am the kiss that sends you to sleep
And I am the friend that you'll always keep

I am the long poem that just goes on
And I am the mower who crosses the lawn
I am the eyes that shine in the light
And I am the monster that creeps out at night
I am the ending to a very good book
And I am the worm who's stuck on a hook
I am the teeth that chew at some gum
And I am the drunk who's enjoying his rum

I am the artist, colours out of the lines
And I am the tall trees that look like pines
I am the worker who's tired at night
And I am his wife who kissed him just right
I am the phone that won't stop it's ringing
And I am the sea that continues it's singing



I am the difference that everyone shares
And I am the reason nobody cares
Individual....

It's a beautiful poem, I'm a poet myself too! But this poem is just AMAZING! Beautiful use of words!
