Poemranker [Poem: Caveat] [by MacFrantic] Thu Nov 21 05:42:32 PST 2024

I'm not who I am I'm not who I'll be I'm not who you think I am I'm not who you see Once every morning And twice before bed I empty the old Emptiness from my head Constantly you'll find me Just pacing 'bout my room Wandering and wondering 'Bout what you must assume I give to you this caveat In moments of distress That though you know me now You know not me unless You see I'm not who I am And I'm not who I'll be I'm not who you think I am And I'm not who you see

It's the kind of thing that needs a steady rhythm to carry it. Mostly, you've done that, but Verse 2, for example, might go like this or somesuch:

Once every morning
And twice before bed
I empty the old
thoughts from my head
Always you'll find me
Just pacing my room
Wandering and wondering
About what you think
