I am what you make of me,
I am what your eyes see then what your mind digests.
I am yellow but so often you like to paint me green.
You speak of my past as if you had lived it your self.
But you did not cry my tears nor did you laugh my laughs.
You did not play in the mud that made me dirty nor did you swim in the lakes that made me clean.
My past is mine a story that only I can tell so clear,
the consecuence is I that you so often want to let disappear.
I am and you are but a simple mystery,
yet you you do not let me simply be.
You decide before given a decision,
you hide behind the mock and the judgement.
You conclude and come to your conclusion so rapid that you miss resemblance.
And still you paint me green and still I am yellow.
My thoughts are mine not yours to take and then dismiss.
Not yours to tangle,
not yours to kill.
A master a judge in the kingdom of your own, you do not command in mine I can do that for my self.
Let me simple be imperfect and unique,
you can take me as I am or leave me happy in the stream.

Great write
Thank you, first time ever published poem.
Welcome, keep it up you do good work
WELCOME HARDING ~ THANKS FOR A CHALLENGING FIRST POEM ! For a maiden poem it is excellent ~ you have innocently embodied many of the elements of MODERN 21st C Poetry. 1. It does not have to have a RHYME PATTERN 2. It does not have to scan (syllable pattern in the lines). 3. It is good to lay it out in lines (as you have done) It looks like a POEM ! 4. It must be from the heart ~ which yours is. The structure is great ~ the subject is personal and enigmatic. You make a personal statement and state you are YELLOW. You then critique another who claims to understand your life but insists you are GREEN. I agree with your argument inmy eyes ~ you are indeed YELLOW. In the same way I am MAUVE and would argue to the death anyone who opposed my perceived colour ~ I am what I am ~ just as you are what you are FOREVER YELLOW ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
Thank you very much.
Really enjoyed this piece, a great way to introduce yourself and your work to the community.... Keep em coming!
