Debbie Duncan Poet Free verse

Wasn'T Me

I'm not the person you think me to be.
I do vile and disgusting things.

Where nobody else can see.
As the public sees me, I'm good.

 I'm not the person you think me to be.
For you see, I'm the great manipulator.

That you never dream is me.
I'm sweet as candy around you.

But in reality, I do things you just can't see.
Though I'm a pillar of the community.

Because that's all I allow you to see.
Goodness and light are all you think of me.    

Until that is, until,  you catch me. 
And still, I will say,  It wasn't me.


 11/ 28/ 2010  I was watching American Greed Scams and listening to a helicopter circling as they were looking for someone.

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2013 at 1:04 AM Just can't seem to find a poem to comment to that is a new one for me, and I was also noticing that you have not posted one for a long time, Gosh, I sure hope you write one soon. Maybe one for Chrstmas!!!

Duke Beaufort March 3, 2013 at 12:24 PM The context of this is very funny. I don't think you could ever be like those TV characters. Stacy Keach has a great narrator's voice don't you think? Wishing you nothing but all that is good! Enjoy every day! Debbie Duncan March 3, 2013 at 6:22 PM Thank you for reading Duke ;}

Toquyen Harrell March 2, 2013 at 7:39 AM Lol, you put that into a context, then it's clear. It put you in that frame of mind :) Funny toward the end, Debbie. I like it. Debbie Duncan March 2, 2013 at 1:32 PM Thank you ;}
