I.
Suppose I said
I am on my best behavior
And there are times
I lose my worried mind
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
Suppose I said
Colors change for no good reason
And words will go
From poetry to prose
Would you want me when I'm not myself?
Wait it out while I am someone else?
And I, in time, will come around
I always do for you
Suppose I said
You're my saving grace?
II.
"...Having Supposed..."
Suppose I heard;
And hugged you, saying,
"I trust you're trying,
I see it as finding
your bearings; Life changes,
and sometimes it's hard to keep up."
Suppose I miss you
When you're feeling someone else,
But want to help you find
Whatever you're looking for?
Suppose I said,
I've smelled color,
Seen it change like the wind.
None can say what's coming,
but I'll keep you in mind, no matter.
Suppose interest;
Suppose infatuation;
Suppose intruigue;
Suppose I said,
"This I know,
And want to know more?"

I was really intrigued by the raw honesty in this piece. It really felt like I was part of a conversation. I also like how you kept repeating, "Would you want me when I'm not myself." It hung in the back of the piece like a shadow. Great job.
