Two Black Dots and a Half Circle
Time to turn a new page
to write a new book
as i see each blank space
only as an oppurtunutiy
to fulfill my own happiness
I start with a smile
two black dots and a half cricle
I scribble words across each line
only to be unsatisfied
the blackness of my pen starts to bleed
as I realize I haven't been me
with each new word
each new drawing
am I really myself?
Or just another illustration drawn in a book
with two black dots and a half circle
Am i just two black dots and a half circle?
Have I fallen into the illusion?
Did i take too many steps back just to become and illustration?
As I fill these pages cover to cover
wondering what to do
or who to be
how to think or live.
Am I really doing it for myself?
Or am i only doing it
for the satisfaction of others
to become two black dots
and a half circle.
Author's Notes/Comments:
I think this poem can really be understood by a lot of people in a variation of ways. The point is to be happy for yourself, it's sad how many people try to pressure you into happiness just for social purposes ie: to gain more friends, or be popular, well I say be happy if you want to be, There was a point in time where I was just joining another status quo. Don't be happy because someones forcing you. Be happy for the reasons you want, because you want to. Don't let someone force you into being two black dots and a half circle, just another carbon copy. Stay orginal My friends. 
I liked the comment better

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
Good poem and good
Good poem and good originality. Whatever we do in life we create by putting a little of ourselves in the interpretation, even the most mundane chores. Enjoyed your write of poetry, a good write.
