I have an unsure feeling
when I look in the mirror.
I don't know if it's a reflection,
or perhaps
a blank canvas I should paint on
so that
I will see something in front of me.

What am I
besides confused?
I want to be myself
not similarly different.

But first, I have to figure out
who is the person
on the birth certificate who's name
is like deja vu.

However,
before I do this, I have to figure out
what is true
to the fact of the matter
that makes up my bodliy mass.
But this apology,
does my mind no justice.

I feel like
I'm going in circles.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
  Blessings and Guidance

Thank you kindly Jezzika.  I am glad that you like the poem.  I know many, if not all of the teenagers in this day and age, can relate to this poem.

Yeah, I don't like being dizzy either, that's why I have to find out who I am.

I really loved this! Many teens can relate I'm sure. I just have 1 critique.

RELAX!!! It seems as though you're trying too hard to sound poised or "grown up".

I loved the way this was set up. Great Job!

Nah Pen, I wasn't trying to be grown up, maybe it just sounds that way because you're just a kid.  LOL.  Just kidding.  I don't know why it sounds that way, maybe it's just my style of writing.  However, with this poem I couldn't relax, I mean the name is "I'm Getting Dizzy".  So I was going in circles looking for an answer.  Kind of like I was frantically searching in the files of my head.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.

i really liked this especially the way you ended it. I thought the rhythm was a little awkward at times though. but other than that i loved the words you used and the idea you brought up. good work!
