A "what I am" Poem for Midweek Motif
What I am is what you see
Not always what I liked to be
All alive see Red differently
What they learned on Mama's knee
Red is the same in chemistry
How each has seen from infancy
and now it makes no difference why
Grass is green blue is the sky
What I am is what you see
Not always what you'd like for me
Things are different if it's a crime
Bad is bad but some is worse
Remember I'm not your slave
If you don't like how I behave
For you then changes I might cede
If I don't then one could leave
What I am is what you see
Please keep me for eternity

Jim,
I love your poetic props! In fact, they most likely demonstrate very well, your poetic words and intentions.
I think we all conjure up an image of knowing someone, believing that they are trustworthy and are, who they purport to be. At times, our gut instinct might know better, with a slight bout of misgiving..I have gone against that instinct many times and have mostly regretted my foolish self!
I like people who are "what you see is what I am" people.........they are very real.
One could leave, indeed. Apparently this one has had some rude interactions! I say, give him some love--he/she/they, that is--the one in front of you.
What I am is what you see
Not always what you'd like for me
Powerful What you see is what you get and that's how it should be
Its good that you stand behind uour authenthicity. You know who you are. You are not standing on shaky ground. Thanks for dropping by to read mine Jim
Much🌻love
It's always nice to stand as who we are. And that needs courage. Wonderful!
Well said!
Gorgeously rendered!!❤️❤️
People should accept us for what we are. Thanks for sharing.
