Did You Really Mean Your Poem
I'm the 1 that resides underneath the Emperor's clothes
The 1 who posts these poem's
Not the 1 other people see
The virtual me in 3D
The outside world torments
So if i should boast
Or play upon my emotional frailty
Am i just feeling needy playing up for sympathy and acting
Depends on which version of me you ask
My Poetrysoup Avatar typing
thoughts out on my phone
Or the real me sat at home starring
back at my sad reflection
Wishing i was not the rope a dope
but half the man i refer to as myself
as said me in my written poetry
In reality the truth has 2 side's
and hopefully i am neither guy but
sit comfortably somewhere in the
middle
Someone willing to be themselves half of the time
but secretly prefers my better half
