“If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose”
― Charles Bukowski


When it seems like all the world is awake,
I am dreaming.
When it seems like everyone is loud,
I am silent.
When it seems like you’re the only one,
Here I am.
Nobody knows who I am.
It takes more than sharp words to hurt me,
it takes love.
The deepest form of malice and trickery,
from the heart.
It takes the knives of a thousand kind smiles,
and meaningful words.
And yet you ask why my reality is so
skewed,
why I cannot bear to look at you and see
what you want me to.
What I see no one else sees, it’s like a mirror,
always backwards.
And when they come for me and force my hand,
I’ll grip the darkness.
You can’t make me understand what I choose
to run from,
or what I know to be the wildest form of
insanity.
No, I prefer my own illusions and lies
to your truths.
So when you’re done trying to love me,
come and find me.

Too bad! I still love you Callie! XD Brilliant poem by the way. But remember that you do know who you are. You are Callie! It's in your name! Don't give up on love so easily. Give it a chance :D

To be nobody but yourself in a world that is trying it's hardest every night and day to change you into everyone else is to fight the hardest battle a human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

Wowee! Great poem, I love the style of it and the contrats between the speaker and the world :) what ur poem describes is very hard to explain but u did it really well. The ending is fantastic :)
