Not Me Poem by S.M. Riggin

The night sky shines down on me
as the snow crunches under my feet.
The cold dark ally would look
intimidating to anyone else
not me.

Continuing my path
never changing, walking
till my head sorted out my heart
my brain thought through everything
not me.

After something like that
anyone else would find
it in their hearts again to
open back up and find love
not me.

My mind figures that if i keep everyone
out, then no one will get close enough
to hurt me, he will never be mine again
he will hurt others but
Not me.
