This is a poem I have simply witten. It just flowed out of my mind! It's when Cloud falls into the lifestream. I was listening to "Who am I?" and "Who are you?" when writing this, you guys should listen to it while reading! It strengthens the effect :') I need feedback, please! I'm trying to improve my poetry for a "find your voice" kind of theme for an entry particpation thingy at my school. Also, hint hint nudge nudge, for all those who like both FF7 and Soul Eater, I'm currently writing a crossover, but it's not IN crossover. It's in Soul Eater...heh. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! :D
Diclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII, but I do own this poem.
Who am I?
Am I real?
Am I the owner of my name?
Am I who they say I am?
Am I nothing but an illusion?
They say I am not
But I believe differently
Have I deceived them?
Deceived myself?
Who am I? Shards of glass lay at my feet
Portraying different views of me
Or am I all the same?
Who am I?
Who was I meant to be? Did I come from my mother's womb?
Or was I never there?
Do I even exist?
Am I real?
I look at my hand
Or is it even mine?
They say yes
But I say no
I am trapped
With nowhere to go
Do I have a purpose?
They all say I do
But I believe that it is not true
I am a burden
Am I anything at all?
I hear a sound, a call
Is it my name?
Am I the owner of my name?
Or is it all an illusion?
Was my purpose an illusion?
My experiences?
Everything I believed?
Am I real?
Is anything real?
Or is it all an illusion?
I see light
Or is it dark?
I climb up
Or am I moving down?
I stand still, the silence enveloping me
Surrounding me
Or is it noisy?
I hear nothing
See nothing
Feel nothing
Am I real?
Am I the owner of my name?
Am I who they say I am?
Who am I?
In this world of illusion?
Like it? Feedback and more ideas would be immensely appriciated!
Also, I was inspired to write poetry after constantly listening to LOVELESS recited by Genesis :')
Maybe I'll write more poems here, as well. About FF7, of course!
