Hey, in case you've been totally oblivious and haven't read the title or description, here's my poetry page. Most of it'll probably be Teen Titans related, as I find I can write poems about them best, though a couple might be different. Er, yeah, first poem's this one I wrote one time when I felt I needed an intoduction to my fanfiction, so I ended up with this. It's from Raven to Beast Boy, and it's title Myself.


When I look at you
I see myself

When I look at you
I see what I could have been
A funny, lovable person
Not the gothic freak
I’ve been forced to be

When I look at you
I see what I could have done
Show everyone
How I feel

I’m cursed with my powers
I’m not allowed
To have fun
To laugh
But you
You can do all those things
And more

Sometimes I feel
I’m living through you
My thoughts, acts, emotions
Have become yours

Without you
I would have died

Without you
Life would have no point

You give me a feeling
That I’m important
That I could make a change
For the good
Instead of the bad

If only you’d known
If only you’d been through
What I’ve been through
You would be able
To fully understand me

You’re the first person
Who didn’t judge me
By my looks
And acts

I was shunned by everyone
Thought to have no life

Technically, I don’t
But I’m trying to change that

When I look at you
I see my twin
Only that twin
Doesn’t have my problems
They have their own.

When I look at you
I can see that you’re struggling too
It’s not easy being green
It’s not easy being death pale

You have your problems
I have mine
When we put them together
The world seems to be crashing down

You’ve helped me more than you know
And I’ve probably helped you
More than I know

Through all these times
We’ve stuck together
We’re destined

You have shape-shifting abilities
I have telekinetic powers
Opposites attract
And help the other

Through all my problems
You’ve been there
To help me
To cheer me up
To make sure I got through it all
It’s my turn

I may not seem it
But inside
I’m a lot different
I’m a normal person
Just like you

When I look at you
I feel different

When I look at you
I see myself

Hope ya liked it. There's a link to my fanfiction in my siggy if you feel like reading it. :sorcerer:
