Selfless?

365 Days of Creativity

A poem that I wrote for my presentation for film class next week. This is an example of a self reflective poem that helps me find inspiration by looking at who I am.

Selfless?

My self is less.

My self is nothing more than chests,

than vacancies that I've suppressed

and stuffed and filled with nothingness.

No hinderance or moral story,

I hear nothing of that glory.

I steal, I cheat, I lie for fun,

have no remorse when it is done.

An echo of the former me,

not a shade of who I want to be.

'So change!' they say,

'Be good instead!'

I slowly, sadly,

shake my head.

For I know I can never stop,

I am a leopard

These are my spots.
