Are you like me?
Are you like me? Can someone just hold me? Don't fix me, don't try to change me Can someone just know me? 'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful —"Broken & Beautiful", Sung by Kelly Clarkson. Written by Steve Mac, John Mcdaid, Alecia B Moore, Marshmello Are you like me? written May 25th, 2021 I look for reflections of myself in the world that aren't apologies or clinical definitions of hurt more than an easy cliche in a song but it is a start. I listen to songs read books and poems watch tv shows and movies, when I see a hint of familiarity I get so damned excited "Are you like me?!? No? Sorry, my bad." So I keep looking trying to be brave making expeditions into the world while holding close the book I find the people I know and knew who know me. I don't tell anyone what I am looking for leaving it up to chance hoping that fate will bump us together long enough to find out Are you like me? __________________ Thoughts about this poem: That song bothers me a bit. I would never create something that was broken intentionally. It's far from an ideal way to live life, but since I am this way, I need to find the beauty in it. I need to find people who can hold me and know me. Go listen to the Kelly Clarkson song. The depth of her voice makes that song. Of course I love so many people who aren't like me, and there are people who know me who aren't like me, but I want to see myself somewhere in the world. Thank you to the artists who write themselves for the world to see. |
