I’m not you

I am rolling hills of Kevlar skin

I am night before the days begin

I am terra cotta heart

I am stories yet to start

I am bones of solid gold

I am young, but I am old

I am war yet to be won

I shine brighter than the sun

I am eyes of earthy hue

Are you sorry I’m not you?

Something wrong with this poem?

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
