About Me

some would say that I'm aloof
 remaining silently detatched
 some things I've said
 or things I've done
 I wish I could retract
 
lightning blazes across dark sky
 silver linings sometime fray
 thunder shakes the atmosphere
 before it starts to rain
 
they follow me on facebook
 on twitter they subscribe
 they read my every thought and word
 to see what's on my mind
 
poetry that often flows
 bitter are some lines
 haiku expressess shorten verbs
 of  other fun filled times
 
I used to read into every verse
 looking for mentions of me
 I should have known indifferance
 would cause the wounds to bleed
 
follow me in confusion
 I know the only truth
 what I pen, the beginning and end
 is more about me than you
