Not your simple girl

 

I’m not that simple girl

You fall in love with

 

I’m not that suggestion 

You hope to hear         

 

I’m not that brand new car smell

You bring home to mommy

 

I’m not that beauty

You awake to see

 

I’m everything you wish I would be

Everything you choose not to see

 

I’m not your enemy

You keep close to your heart

 

I’m not that good thing

You been walking passed

 

I’m not that itch

You been wishing to scratch

 

I’m not your drug of choice

You been high on for so long

 

I’m nothing but the carpet you walked on  

Something you wish you wipe clean from your conscious

 

I’m not that sweet vanilla waiver  

You dream of tasting

 

Just wish me good night

Or settle for insanity

Anna I liked this peice by you. Its fragile yet strong. I like the way that two worlds collide. The first few stanzas make me think that this is about some ones perception of you. They way you start each stanza with the words" I'm Not... highlights this point. Like that . "I'm not also says to me that there is a strand of anger running through this peice. It lies just below the surface of the words, and as the pen scratches the paper lines of anger are released. I likethe way this peice builds as we go through all the things you aren't itch , drug, enemy, simple girl. until through frustraion you scream at the other person whose perception of you is so wrong and say to them "i'm nothing but the carpet you walked on"I'm somthing that never happed to you. So lets end this here and now by you saying good night to me. and you can carry on living and i will try and start living again.

An amazing piece of insightful poetry . well done proud of you Anna
