Dreamer

I am a dreamer
That's all i'll ever be
Give me a day
I'll dream a Sea.
I am consumed by fantacy
Within me is a place i'd rather be
Yet I live a life that isn't me.

interested in nothing
Fear nothing,
There is no one i'd rather be.
Family and friends think they understand me.
I see life as a tree,
A cycle of constant velocity.
The norms of society, dosen't apply to me
I desire to go about it differently.

Favorite Poets: “Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine... Never did eye see the sun unless it had first become sunlike, and never can the soul have vision of the First Beauty unless itself be beautiful.”, Plotinus, The Enneads

I like your style

Hi Jahleel I'm new to Neopoet and have, so far, submitted 3 poems (similar themes). Ashes in the Dust, Meeting Your Ghost, and tonight, My Shadow. I've not had any comments and would like it if you could comment on them. I love and understand what you've written. Your feelings seem to connect with mine, and have a couple of similar poems on the theme of your writing. I would like to read more of your poems. xena465
