    Poem Commentary

    When you just become you... As you become the person you always have been.

    Nothing Less

        

          The life of you when you,
    Are you,
    Others don't mind being different....
    To God and yourself be true...

             The first of your life...
    You knew who you where...
    Jagged edges of knives....
    You tore,
    Ripped apart...
    Pages ruined ,
    Smudged,
    Unreadable,
    Stained,
    Retained,
    Because you hid,
    Like a broken kid...
    Hurt and wounded,
    By mislead,
    People,
    Under Gods steeple,
    Under the mess...
    I became....
    Me... Nothing less!

    This poem brings to mind my favorite Quote, "The only thing I know for certain is I know nothing, The only thing worth knowing is thyself, and it is a life long goal" Socrates. I see this poem as journey of self-discovery and a coming of age. I see the pain and torment was partially self-inflicted, trying to hide one's true self. In the end the great realization and dare I say re-birth is when the writer comes to terms with himself and stops trying to conform to society, what other people wanted, trying to be normal, etc and was re-born as thy true self...

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
