I Am Real


A Poem by Shannon
3 November 1997


I could show you with my words
Felt deep within, sincere
But empty on the air
You dont listen

I could show you with my tears
Bitter salt, sparkling memories
But dried to my cheek
You dont see

I could show you with my blood
Let you cut me deep and slow
Throw down the blade
You dont believe

I could show you with my life
Give you everything, dear friend
You'd rather have me dead
You dont love me

Take my words into your mind

Listen

They are real

Take my tears into your eyes

Watch them

They are real

Take my blood onto your hands

Taste it

It is real

Take my life away, dear friend

Touch it

I am real
