I don't think other people like me
because
I don't like myself.
So I dislike them first...
its a habit I learned
(a long time ago) at home.
Is it easier that way?
I ask myself.
But it isn't.
There is no mirror
that will ever reflect
the way I feel
for often
I don't know the answers
myself...
or how it is
or who it is
I really am,
until someone points me out.
And then I feel
foolish
when I realize
that I am
indeed
the one
who is
(all)
the stranger
to myself.
I call this another one of my "sky" poems...one that was conceived either
while sleeping, after waking, or lying in bed letting my thoughts run where they will.
