On Reality & Myth

.

.

.

I don’t mean to justify myself…

Explain that it was not about

What you need to suppose


Of me you fathom half my reality

Half my fantasy

And you say you know me


I’ve run out of ideas

To explain how I feel

The same thoughts bring

The same words


Cannot repeat myself

Be redundant

I must wait

See if I can write

About you and me

Or them

Or him or her


I’ve run out of ideas

And though I spend

Half my life observing

I feel it’s the same old story

Life is the same old story


And now you believe

I am depressed

Because you think you know me

But of me you know…

…Only half of it.

I love this.. LOVE IT.

I feel this way every time someone just thinks I'm going through a phase and in reality I've been going through this phase forever

well... truly honest and open. I wonder how many of us would be brave enough to confess such thing to our current partners? definately a feeling and thoughts that i can relate to! Great read/poem.

I have wondered--but not too much, grin!--ever does one know even 'only half of it'? I don't even know half of myself--and have stopped ruminating.

I think nobody WANTS to 'know' me any more than 'for the moment' because everyone has their own lives to live, their own families and beliefs, causes, loves, issues--financial and health.

Yes, I DO know how you feel, from your blog--but in reality, I know "...Only half of it."

Relax!
Peace!

It’s all reality too me. This is so good.

Shadow said...

this is pretty darn amazing. how well, really, can we ever really know another. or another, us, for that matter. lots of love to you!

Bubba said...

Better to sharee half-content that's original by itself than trying to 'fill-in' the other half with repetition and redundancy and repetition and redundancy. We don't have to share everything.

RNSANE said...

To know only a little bit of you is such a joy, dearest Dulce. I am glad of that!

People see what they want to see, half of it may be us, half of it is what they want us to be
