Best Personality Poems

We Are All the Same
Listen to the reeds as they sway apart;
Hear them speak of lost friends.
At birth, you were cut from your bed,
Crying and grasping in separation.
Everyone listens, knowing your song.
You yearn for others who know your name,
And the words to your lament.
We are...

Image: Cloud Fantasy, by Susan Lawrence

On spring's green carpet I repose, revitalizing the soul
passing slow minutes pondering the sky

The lake whispers a morning meditation
as memories abound of cloud fantasies
a thousand ships of condensation dreams

Assorted sizes, shifting shapes
capriciously changing contours and colors
white, dun, pewter gray, dusky...

I am me, is true
I have always been me
I have always been, not me
emotions folded into one

Wine sets mind free
to not be me
exploring contemplations
buried deep

Id tell you a story
Id tell it to you true
I shall you tell stories when I am blue
I now let the...

A Hat is a Personality

  Tip it forward, graciously

  Angle it sideways, rakishly

    ~ Tilt its brim back, thoughtfully...

Borderline Personality Disorder: Full Disclosure


There is no I inside,
No consistent self through time. 
I know that I am but 
Don't know who it is that is,
Who will be tomorrow, or was yesterday.
          Sad to be confused.

Many lovers’ kiss faded from my lips
Like summers early morning mist that dries
When timely sunrise first arrives outside
My windowpane. Can I rewrite the script
Of providence that’s handed me? Eclipse
Another, hardly. The Jekyll and Hyde
Reside in me: the good and bad divide
At first but then the...

As
 
liquids accommodate themselves
 
by 

taking the shape of the vessel they are

poured into

so 

one's personality is developed  

by 

adjusting to the mold his character 

provides!*

Broken
Stripped of all I am
Searching for an identity
In my recycling bin
My eyes metamorphosed
As the years passed
My skin eroded like sediment
In a wicked wind
And now my mind is fragile
Affected by everything
It's when I look at the window
I see a reflection of my face
But what I see
Fills...

I have the ability to be really cool
An' a capability to be evil cruel
I play it straight while acting the fool.

I am a thief, and a saint
I'll weep when I take
Try and keep some restraint.

I'm never the same man, two days just a chance
I change...

When she's with her family,
she can be a child,throw tantrums
get mad at anything-
she'll never grow up in their eyes anyways.
When she's alone,
she's relieved,
suicidal,
she feels lost and
so alive.
When she's with him,
she feels beautiful,
he tells her she's perfect,
she knows its what best friends say.
When she's with her...

What is this feeling
This feeling deep down in my soul
Eating away at me
Threatening to tear away my flesh
And unmask me as someone completely different
Than who I pretend to be

When you’re constantly worried
About being exposed
As someone who you think no one will like
You can’t focus on...

I know some may
prefer the way
  of folks direct, up front

Some love panache
forthright and brash,
  outspoken as you want

Some may prefer 
the crash and blur   
  of histrionics bolder 

But as for me 
I'd rather be

How do I explain
That my emotions are painful
That happiness is euphoria
That anger is blinded rage
That love borders obsession
How do I explain
That my emotions are my enemy
That sadness is suicidal thoughts
That pain is an agonizing fire that consumes me
That emotions are a hurricane
That merged with a...

You earned it
The right to
Stand out

To show your true colors
To go by the name
That best represents 
The real authentic you
The you you’ve grown into

Select your pen name
With utmost care
Flaunt your uniqueness
Divulge your true colors
