Poetry / Things I Have Come To Realize (Analysis)

Things I have come to realize.

I will always be messy.
From my bedroom to my thoughts.
99% of the time I’ll leave empty handed,
I’ll give all I have brought.

My back and feet will always hurt,
but I’ll run and walk, just the same.
And it’s pretty and all
but no doubt I have a hick-ish name.

Simplicity is my ode to fame
but I’m quite complex.
I’ll always make love
without ever having sex.

These are the things I’ve come to realize;
better know them well.
And I’ll never love you more
than I’ve grown to love myself.

My feet will always be a size 3,
toes painted only cuz I’m “type girl”.
But my footsteps leave big prints
and cause earthquakes felt around [your] world.

I’ll always laugh and spoil a “moment”
and cry when I should be smiling.
I’ll always read the dictionary
and love horseback riding.

These are the things I’ve come to realize,
so, always know them to be true.
I’ll steal Heaven’s sunshine and place it on your lips
in case you’re ever blue. I love, through and through.

One brow will always top the other
and my cheeks dimpled when I smirk.
I’ll always drink drinks with a straw
and when you laugh, call you a “jerk!”

I’ll always rely on Faith
when negativity’s at my door.
I’ll always over-do things
because I can’t fight my yurn for more, more, more.

These are the things I’ve come to realize
and give them all to you.
In hopes that you will come to realize
that maybe, in spite of them all, you can love me too.

Love,
The Many Pieces of Me.

Well, my fairly high ratings aren’t anything but unqualified personal opinion, but I think you deserve them… especially in the ‘warm a few hearts’ category. Mission accomplshed there. One thing I noticed, though, was that I struggled to find a constant rhythm while I read. When I got up from the computer, though, a few of the lines stuck in my head thanks to the rhythm they did have, though, especially “and when you laugh, call you a ‘jerk!’”. And all talk about rhythm and nice unexpected rhyming aside, it was a very good poem… I loved the signature at the end.
