Here is a collection of short poems that make little, or no sense. I wrote most of them last night when I was half asleep and delusional.
I am.
I am half of what I need to be
None of what I want to be
Everything of what you see
Nothing of what is not me
---
Ingrained in my memory
What started as a tiny seed
Has now become a mustard tree
...metaphorically.

Last night I thought I was going to die
I woke up this morning and I was fine
I dreamed about the old dirt road
That distant place of you and I...
---
You are.
You are this
You are that
I told you
To eat my hat
You are good
You are bad
Will you remember
The fun we had?
You are funny
You are boring
I lay awake all night
Listening to you snoring
You are red
You are green
The blacks, the whites
And in between
You are a cake
You are a carrot
You are the cracker
I fed my parrot
You are mine
You are theirs
But I know you think
That no one cares
You are the rain
You are the sun
The planets, the moons
And stars overrun
You are cold
You are warm
Just never normal
So I am torn
You are you
You are them
Stop this nonsense
I'm going to bed
You are the break
You fixed my heart
You stop and start it
You pull it apart
You are the reason I am
You are the reason I will be
The reason I was
And all that I see
You are passionate
You are passion fruit
I don't think you know
That I adore you
You are given
You are taken
Through it all
You remain unshaken
You are my sister
You are my brother
You're not related
To my father or my mother
You are the city
You are the hills
You are the place
Where a little bit kills
You are deceitful
You're full of lies
Now I know
Why you don't lock eyes
You are beautiful
You are ugly
You're never enough
The circle of society
You are in tune
You are way out
Remember, to play
'Keep those lips in a pout!'
You are dishonest
You so true
There's no gray area
In black and blue
You are the reason I frown
You are the reason I cry
The plea of the fledgling
I'm going to fly

Who are you?
Did you have anyone specifically in mind when you write this tree?
And i like it. It's great. Smanbastical. Kudos to you... Kudos.
By write... I meant wrote.
You is nobody. I didn't have anybody specifically in mind when I wrote them, although now I could apply some to certain people.
Just my brain.
Spilling out.
Out out out out out out.
I wrote 5 pages of stupid little poems in my notebook last night. I haven't written for ages and it felt good. Even if they're silly.
These are so fantastic. I love them.
Cement.
