You may have happened across Sophie200’s last contribution to the Poetry Cafe, Wait for me. It was so great we’re welcoming back Sophie for an encore.
When it comes to answering on Answers.com you’ll often find her in the Hamsters section. Sophie wishes she had an unusual hobby like trainspotting or skydiving but, alas, she does not. But don’t think that makes her easy to understand. She’s complicated to decode, just like the essence of her poems. One of her favorites is published below.

My Voice, by Sophie200
Flood in the light to block out the dark,
break down the walls that guard the heart.
Reveal the secrets to cover the lies,
identity drowning in the tears of my eyes.
Innocence gone at the flick of a switch,
To love or to hate - I can’t decide which.
Imagination glows fiery and alight,
Passion lives in me, gone is the night.
You make me laugh, you make me smile,
time spent with you, seems so worthwhile.
True love kicks the heart and tears at the soul,
Finally motivation, I’m left with a goal.
To live or to die is not a hard choice,
when happiness speaks out love is my only voice.

Wait for me, by Sophie200
I suppose you think this is just a game?
Playing with me like a toy in your nursery.
Hopscotch on the playground.
Manipulating me.
Winding me
up by a
rusty
key.
Why am I the one playing tag with you?
You are always going to be
two steps ahead of me,
two years older than
me,two lifetimes
appart from
me.
Hopping and skipping from one step to the next.
I’m going my fastest. Why won’t
you slow down
and wait for
me?
Why are you in such a hurry? Time will wait.
We can’t play games anymore
Stop pretending that you
never tricked
me.
Did you intend to hurt me? By making it painless
you hurt me more,
Why do I still
love
You?
