Hm, What Now? Poem by Liliana EL.

Hm, What Now?

Rating: 4.5


So now I am here
At this hour
On this day
I've prepared for it
Anticipated it
Yet
My mind goes blank
Why am here?
What is my goal
and who are you?
Do I begin to shake
to pace
and hysterically wail?
Wrack my brain for what could have been but now fails?

Or do I embrace how my mind goes blank?
Twirl in euphoria
in your arms
In your grace
Peace
Serenity
Total tranquility

So I am here
And yes, I know you
But now the question posed is
Who
am
I?

Am I sassy?
Am I lost?
Dazed
Forgotten
Tossed?

Am I lovely
and so sweet
like your pastries and your treats?

Am I gloomy
Am I dull
and does sorrow fill my face?

Am I a cheerful songbird
Or a mystery wall

So I am here now
And so tell me now
Who am I?
and where?
and why?
and how?

Last time I checked
I was sitting at a desk
But now
I seem to find myself in a grand
elegant nest

Questions that every person will sooner or later ask themselves. I like how you built up your poem and especially how it ends. I believe that every great poem should end in a rhyme. Thank you!
