Vidal Tan Poet Free verse

Online Dating

Just another photograph in a sea of solitaire
Waiting for someone to see.
Shall I be honest? Shall I tell a lie?
Who do you want me to be?

Would you? Could you? If you really knew? 
Me, a lover, a fighter, a philosopher, a friend?
I could be any or I could be all
But still not enough in the end.
Who do you want me to be?

I am an athlete, but I am not an athlete.
I am an intellect, but I are not smart.
I am wise, but I am a fool.
I am what you want, but I am not what you need.
Who do you want me to be?

Just another photograph in a sea of solitaire?
This, will never be. 
Because this is me.
A reflection upon a sea of solitaire 
Waiting for someone to see.

Skat A June 9, 2016 at 6:15 PM I Have a friend who did the online dating, she' writes a lot about the disappointment this person brought to her. she was sad and torn after she found out the guy she was dating was really a girl. I guess anyone can be anything when they are sitting on the other side of the screen. A very COOOL poem a perfect 7. SKAT
