This is yet another poem that I wrote in English class, just looking around at the people in the class and thinking about whether or not everybody truly knows who we all are.  Anyway, let me know what you think of this one, I don't think it's very good and it's a rather odd format, but what the heck.  lol  

WHO ARE WE?

Who am I?
Who are you?
Who are we when we're us?
Masks are all we seem to be

I often wonder
Do you, too?
If we really are
Who we want to be

And if we were
Would they still care?
Would they still love us
For who we really are?

Or do they love us
For the masks we wear
And who they want us to be

      - Cody -

Note To Self:  If Pigs Can Fly, So Can I!!!

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

this is so interesting. i often wonder what it's meant to be "us" and the various masks we wear. it'd be stunning - emotionally- if you woke up one day and just realised you were in love with someones mask and not the real person themselves. good job cody. made me think...

the format was a little differesnt and that made it interesting.  these are hard questions to answer, i think everyone asks them and no one knows the answers.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Very interesting format.  I truly liked this one. It got straight to the point.  I think to a certain extent not everbody knows who they really are.  They just have to wait to find out.

It Feels As If I've Always Been Someone On The Outside Looking In.

You should always show your true self
Let people love you for who you are from the very beginning
Masks is what complicate things

là où est mon amour?
donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?
