You're never completely yourself when around other people. Every situation you're in with somebody else, you are yourself plus them, because they have an influence on you without you even realising it, without them realising it, and before anyone has even spoken. But then, if the other person is also not completely themselves when around you, does that makes for a false situation, and where does it come from? In a sense, this makes every social situation a game, in which we all play characters.
The only time I feel like I am 100% myself is when I'm by myself, and I suppose that's what I love about solitute sometimes. Although I wouldn't necessarily want to be by myself all the time, and in fact it takes away some of the meaning if there is nobody at all to share any of yourself with, I think everyone needs significant time alone along the way to rebalance themselves. Some of the most joyful experiences I've had are when I'm by myself. I wonder how many people can say that about themselves? I suppose that the most ideal romantic relationship is one where you are able to be 100% yourself with that person. I don't think that happens in a lot of relationships, because often people will be slightly mismatched. Is that due to a fear of being alone? It would be really nice to be in a relationship where you are able to completely be yourself though. I wonder whether the reason some people don't spend much time alone is that they are afraid of who they are, they are afraid that there would be complete nothingness, complete silence, or they won't like what they see when they look inside. I think it's true that you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else or let anyone love you. When people enter into relationships as an unhappy person expecting the relationship to solve all their problems, that could be when problems occur, because they take it out on the other person?

You blow me hot and cold, Just like a dream... ...and then like nothing, It's like a wall, Then you're freaked out, Like something I don't know, And you don't know yourself, Like you're losing some control, Like you trying to keep a grip, And every time I think we click I get so carried away, And you have to stop me, Or I'll spin you into infinity, And what will happen then? Tags: poem | poems | poet | poetry | poets You could:
Stay up all night, Scream and shout, And dance about, Live the crazy life, Live the dream, Live it all, And everything imbetween, Fall in love with insanity, Drink till you're drunk, Drink till you laugh, Drink till you bleed All your thoughts on the floor, And then kick them around, Till they're all battered and bruised, But where does it get you, And the end of the day, But a big gaping hole In the centre of your head? I'm glad I'm not you. Tags: poem | poems | poet | poets | poetry | health | alcohol In another world
We could be perfect, We could be forever, The deepest secrets untold And shared in ways That other people only dream of; But in this world, We are so different; You are black And I am golden yellow And red And orange And bright sky blue And everything imbetween; But you are black And sometimes white, But inside I know your true colours, I know that it's all just for show, And maybe one day You will realise It's better to be true to yourself Than to paint a false picture. In another world, In another life, In another time, In another place, We would be perfect, But right here, Right now, We are not.

So crazy, Oh you are so crazy, With your crazy eyes And your crazy talk And your crazy mouth And your crazy reasons. Stuff you with your crazy talk. Crazy talk! Oh so crazy, So very crazy! I pity you in your crazy world, Your crazy little world, Without joy, Without reasons, All full of horror and paranoia, You'll never know what it's like To be normal, To find peace, To be free From the chains Of misery In your private prison Of paranoid thoughts.

I always get carried away; You've never been to me, A place I call home inside; You must excuse me, I'm sorry, I was leading you along, It's just a game I like to play; You've never been to me; A game I like to play; You're absent in my world; I'm there, And it's perfect, And you can't see, I'm soft and perfect and bright yellow inside, And what if that's not your colour?

Your view of me is fractured; I am only broken on the outside. The sun has gone from your view, But it never left my heart; I'm just keeping it hidden for a while, To keep me warm inside. Can't you see, The problem is you not me; I'm tired, But not unhappy, I just want to be quiet, And be still, Like a breezeless sky, An unmoving tree, Silence; Purity; Bliss.

Now that sunshine fills the sky,
Can I truly be touched? Can I truly be reached? Can I truly be affected? Can I truly be yours? Can I truly give myself to you? Now that everything is perfect; Now that the sky is always blue, What depths are there left to swim down to? What was once the deepest ocean, Is now a mountain top, And maybe you can't climb that high, And maybe I don't want to come down; So maybe we should say goodbye?... Tags: poems poetry love perfection Sometimes I like to try to strip away gender as part of a person's identity, and try to see them beyond that. It's hard to explain, but if I see a girl who is cute and I get on well with, I sometimes try to think of who they are beyond my perception of them as the opposite sex. Then we are just two individuals, two souls (if you want to call it that), genderless, and what does that mean, why do we take on these roles that society imposes on us? We are brought up to conform to stereotypes of what is considered male or female. But when you strip away the differences that genitals and hormones impose on us, what is it that lies underneath?
So if you fall in love with someone of the opposite sex, the person underneath that you then get to know deeply, is essentially a genderless being encased in gender and an outwards identity. And I think that's how you would really get to know someone, to get inside them, and see them beyond the gender, as an equal person, and that really excites me, especially as I kind of consider myself as being rather androgynous. Love knows no gender.

Tags: poems | poetry I had a dream last night, that I re-walked a charity walk that I did back in September, but this time I started too late in the day, and it got dark, and all the people at the checkpoints had gone home, and they'd removed all the signposts, so I didn't know where I was going and I got lost.
Then, afterwards, I was in the toilet trying to go for a wee, and loads of people from the walk came in too (mostly women), and I couldn't get the wee in the pan, I just kept spraying it everywhere and it was neverending. I think it was just that I was needing a wee whilst I was asleep, because I needed one when I woke up. I think I get crazy dreams when I need a wee. Tags: dreams | dreaming | dream | dreamy-dream | urinating | wee | charity | walking | rambling I said "I dreamt of you last night,
And it was like so real, I couldn't believe it was a dream, And when I woke up, Just for a split second My entire world fell apart; But then I suddenly realised, It didn't matter anyway, Because I have all the love I need Right here in my own heart, And I can't spend my life Waiting for a star to fall, When I have a bigger one Shining much brighter Right here inside me." She looked at me and smiled, Turned away, And everything went into slow-motion, As we stumbled in the corridors of our minds; A new adventure, Forwards and upwards, Inwards and outwards and over and out; But in my mind we were dancing like angels, And I smiled to myself, Because it didn't matter anyway.
