What I'M Not

In a field of wildflowers
Splashes of beautiful colors
Swaying with the wind
Dancing, whispering, and peaceful
So lovely I want to live that carefree
But knowing that things aren't
Makes my stomach churn and my heart ache
Tears fill my eyes and I want to hide
To be hidden and kept away
From the world and everything beautiful
Graceful and lovely
What I'm not

Love the contrast in this poem. Reminds me of my Love and Hate poem I wrote...
