I am a rose...
hardy and strong,
protected by my thorns
and yet so gentle.

I am an chameleon...
able to blend into the background
not being easily seen.

I am 53...
in the number of my years,
but so much younger in my spirit,
for you are only as old as you feel.

I am a prism of colors...
always changing with my mood
red hot, sadly blue,
transparent invisible at times,
just lingering in the background.

I am Switzerland...
neutral, able to listen,
intricate in my thoughts and ways.

I am a ordinary man
existing, on the edge of lunacy
or the wisdom of the ages.

I am an enigma,
a mystery to most,
so few, really see the real me.

I am complex
an artist, a poet,  an athlete.
with strong likes and dislikes.

Another older work I found while searching for something else.

The idea behind this poem was to write a poem where you have to pick out a plant, animal, age, color, country, noun/thing, something abstract, and a feeling to describe yourself. This was created after reading a post of another member at Live Journal.
