Simile Of Me Poem by Rossella Rossella

I am a cat.
Silent and distant,
I stand apart from the others.
Different from them, I sometimes give others the feeling that I am cold.
However, like a cat I love others.
Loving from a distance.
Sometimes more than the people can love themselves.

I am a mask.
Opaque, I conceal the secrets of others as well as my own.
I shield my friends from their problems,
and as a result end up feeling their pain.

I am a perennial.
Always changing and quickly fading,
not a day goes by that I am the same person as before
I possess great beauty even though not all choose to see it,
and even though I am constantly dying,
I always come back.
