**Hey! I wrote this poem awhile ago about myself, but it is something that I could imagine Sam feeling. I love that the characters are so relateable. I wanted to share it especially after this week's episode. I kept thinking about it. Hope you enjoy!**
"This is What You are to Me"
There is a secret place inside all of our hearts
Deep, deep in the pit of our souls
It cannot be shared
It remains a mystery even to ourselves
It is dark and it is light
And we are afraid to know it
As we are afraid to know our true self
It is our ugly
Our shame
Our regret, pain, and delight
It draws its strength from the darkness
And gives wings to our dreams at night
It is words
It is moments
Laughter and memories
It is the sun in your hair a lifetime ago
It is ancient
Older than our bodies
Our lips that will not part and speak the words
I love you, I love you, I love you
Inside it you are mine
Inside it I am yours
Inside it I know that this is makebelieve
Smiles to please
Smiles to decieve
There is no magic
No rewind
This is inadequate
This is my life
This is what I've become
It wasn't my choice
My intention
My creature
Slinking through the darkness
Ashamed of the sun
This is what you are to me
-J.E.R.
