Emaline Nelson Poet I do not know?

Me

Why don't you open your eyes?
Actually LOOK at me?
Don't you dare close them
Keep them open wide
What do you see?
Surely you don't KNOW me, if you can't SEE me.
Perfection's not me.  Not even close
Your perception's have proven false.
Perfection's not me.
Don't listen to rumors, lies, or gossip.
They don't know me.
Lying's NOT me.
I don't play sports.
Sporty I am NOT.
I'm not as skinny as society demands to be.
Hello?
Over here?
Super-model is NOT me.
Do you WANT to know who I be?

I'm an artist.
A writer.

Yes, that's right
That's ALL ME
