Poem -

A reason to write

You think that I am dark, that I have a troubled mind.

You always have a problem with the words that I write.

What if I told you that the troubled one was you.

Never releasing the things that bother you

 by putting into words memories that haunt,

impressions that last,

friends and family,

moments when you cry or laugh.

What if I told you that this was my escape

 sometimes I don't want to deal with reality

 fantasy is easier than that which is real.

Listen to me

 read my words and comprehend

 some is real and some is fake

 the words and stories that I create.

It might be about you

 or maybe some other fool.

Most of the time I talk about myself

 pretending that I am someone else.

I am many things when I write

I am the heroine and the thief 

I write of many impossible things

 I write of dreams and my beliefs.

These words that are spilling out

are the most honest things that I can say

, even if it is a tale of make believe

 you will never truly know me

unless you read my stories.

Some of this is the truth that I couldn't tell you

because I couldn't tell myself.

I enjoy dried flowers 

because I cant stand to see them die,

such a beautiful thing, such a sad life.

I wish upon that moon,

because the stars get confused

there are so many of them that the message gets tangled up

and is impossible to construe.

This is my escape

this is the power of the words that I write

the power of my mysterious yet fully open mind.

Alanna,

(Very pretty), honoring the preservation of (her) life, her proud, superior in-thought and made up mind, of a poem..... (Character), in control of and pre-plotted her destiny, be it in this world or out. This part to me, just took the cake for me, well en-played, a queen in her own anointed, self fabricated, wonderland....Whenever she wants and how ever she wants.....Pretty poem..An escaped to a self made wonderland...The complete girl in her eyes....Figment of our imagination or compensatory curiosity, simply unsolicited, yet necessatively required, to boost as all beings, self worth.To feel the need of merely understanding and acceptance by her practical admires.......Curiosity compensatory.....

Great j ob,

Jim

Wow love all the twist and turns in this poem, very playful, yet so much truth it holds, love the following, 

 the words and stories that I create.

It might be about you

 or maybe some other fool.

Most of the time I talk about myself

 pretending that I am someone else.

Don't we all, and are we not all on the same boat, which we keep on rocking and mocking, not realizing we are one of the same, our names maybe different, but our pain and joys are the same, only dressed as different to eyes of the fools, which thyself again.

Great poem
