Lewis Raynes Poet Personification

Me Inside You

I'm a shadow, alone, I exist in your mind,
You can't see what I see, think or feel.
And I don't have a heart, a smile or a want,
You don't even think that I'm real.

But I'm with you, your rose, beside and inside,
Haunting you I chase down your dream.
And I preempt your thoughts, your actions, your pulse,
When I know things aren't quite what they seem.

I'm your feeling, your insight, your beautiful hunch,
Living up in your head of a zoo.
Always looking out for the one that I want,
Always protecting the one that I love that is you.

Darren White December 31, 2016 at 7:59 AM That is such a great poem.... That is how I am built, sometimes protective, sometimes hurtful, sometimes talking when I want it silent, sometimes so deafening silent that I am desperate for sound. As if me is something I live in. Lewis Raynes January 1, 2017 at 5:57 PM Thanks Darren, I think we all have that small voice inside keeping us in check, some are louder than others maybe.
