I AM

This is who I am
I'm not as docile as a lamb
I'm a wolf without a pack
An outcast with no clan
I'm the calm before the storm
If I give you a peek you would run
Off to the wagging tongues to cause a ruckus
Cause misguided bravery leading confrontations
You don't know me, never think that you do
You've only seen me in my best of moods
You haven't contended with my demons
Nor danced to the sweet serenade of my angels song
Stayed up underneath the stars till 3AM
Or told me what scares u most
You don't know me but sometimes you see
Glimpses of who I truly am within
And that scares you enough to want to leave
Or put in time to try n change me
But what you don't seem to understand is
The me who loves the shadows and the night
The me who stays up till the wee hours of the day
The me who fights back tears while the whole world rests
The me who stays away and tries to survive another day
The me who immerses her self in poems, till I'm covered in ink and blood
The me who still sometimes wonders how good it would feel to leave this world
Is who I really am
This is not a phase
Stop hoping I'll snap out of if
And give your brazen soul a chance
To walk with me, to live and breathe the dark.
