Know This (A Book of Poetry)

What Am I?

"What Am I?"

*I own this poem.

Am I the one that haunts your nightmares

Or the one that paints your dreams?

Do you smile when you see me

Or is your grin not what it seems?

When you see me is it with a halo

Or with the Devils face?

Am I stabbing you roughly

Or making your heart race?

Are my grey eyes filled with joy

Or do they adorn you with hate?

Do I live in a mansion

Or starve down at Hells Gate?

When I smile are there fangs

Or is it kind and pure?

Are my tears made of poison

Or do they hold a heavenly cure?

Am I the girl you lust for

Or the one you'd kill?

Would you rather kiss me

Than bury me in a hill?

Am I the girl you dream of

Or the one you hate?

Does my smile bring you pleasure

Or pull you down with weight?

Are my lips red and lush

Or are they cold and dead?

When you see me is it pretty

Or just a severed head?

Is my voice one of beauty

Or does it ring of envy?

Are my bones almost there

Or of food do I have plenty?

Am I the girl in your dreams,

The one who walks in fields?

Or am I the girl who kills you,

Stabbing through your shields?

Am I your nothing, a nobody

Or your greatest mistake?

When I smile is it genuine

Or so obviously fake?
