Faces in the crowd

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Apr 25, 2013


Sable water lives upon my cheeks.
These quivering lips could tell a story
if you would acknowledge,
that I am one of you.

Your eyes focused on my complexion
do I not look beautiful?.
Thanks for your judgement but
I believe I did not ask for opinions.

The crowded streets release
a vacuum to my lungs
sucking the air from my grasp,
while my lenses open wide to
a thousand spectators.

Am i that different,I can not be
a tiny spec in life?...
Why can't I be a normal girl?...
why can't I be another
face in the crowd?.

    I love this.

    People are so quick to judge by appearances... if you don't look the same, they treat you like you have a disease... and it's disgusting. People are equal, we need the same things to survive, we all can relate to the same problems, same feelings, etc at some point in life.

    I love the first and third stanza, they truly make this poem!

    "I am that different I can not be
    a tiny spec in life;
    why can't I be a normal girl?,
    why can't I be another
    face in the crowd?.

    ^^ I think it may work better this way...

    You've penned this well matey...
    Small/narrow minded people grate me...
    We all bleed and breath the same and we all want the same thing...
    a long, full and happy life before we're gone.

    Nominated kiddo :)

    Edit:

    "Sable water lives upon my cheeks.
    These quivering lips could tell a story
    if you would acknowledge,
    that I am one of you."

    ^^ my favourite stanza...
    also a strong opening for the poem.
