All That You See Is Me

       

   

I like to express myself in diverse manners

Speak different languages

Explore new terms and phrases

But every time I speak

Every thought that I share

Is uniquely my own 

I am no carbon copy

Original with intent

The "same old" tends to bore me

Not a fan of the mundane

I like to flirt with seeming insane

Take my thought life to the edge

Why bother being creative

To write the same songs in different keys

Tell the same story, use the same theme?

Yes, I prefer to take different approaches

Sample new flavors

Switch up the melodies

The sky is not always the same hue

Not even my skin the same shade

Though my eyes are the size they were at birth

They don't always see the same

Life and love is hidden in diversity

The splendor of which I cherish

The purpose for our creative power

Is to play skillfully with all the elements 

Every single paint stroke varies

Our skyline changes daily

Adding many shapes and textures

Makes it more interesting

Like panels on the wall

Color schemes transform a room

To emphasize my character

My mood puts on its costume

Why else would HE provide such an array

Varied personalities, multiple ways to say

I love you, I like, or I do not prefer

I'm not straight off the rack

I'm THEE designer's original

If it's okay for the seasons to change

Then why must I be the same?

When the leaves fall off
Is it not still a tree?

No matter what the genre
Is it not still music?

Not placed within a box, but

Tailored to be free, yet ALWAYS, always ME
