Wake up each morning
Look in the mirror
Wish that I could be perfect
Then go on with my day
      Is this living?

Walk past the world
Staring athe the ground
Not daring to life my glance
To the world around me
      Is this living?

Walk by a mirror
Feel chills creep up my spine
From my fear of looking up
For fear of what I'll see
      Is this living?

Walk around every corner
With so little confidence
As if death will grett me
But sometimes, I wish it would
      Is this living?

I hear of all these people
Living life to its fullest
Then I think about my own
And silently wonder
      Is this living?

*Amanda*
I need more time to find the real me...
to fly like the birds... to be set free.

Great job, Amanda! I loved this one...I can relate completely! Living insecure and with no confidence at all is absolutely horrible. Great write here...Keep posting.

I really like this one.  Sometimes people expect too much, and expect certain things from you.  It's your life, and it IS living.  Your life.

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

you just don't know what living is until you are dead.

Another powerful, emotion-filled poem from you.  Nice work, Amanda.  I really enjoyed this... the flow was excellent, and the ideas are deep, and well written.  Good job!

Amanda, if you think others don't have their own problems, you're totally wrong.  we all have to go thru trials in our life, this is what makes us who we are.  Be strong.  I loved you poem.  Thanks for sharing

People just pretend to have great lives with no problems and sky-high confidence. Deep question you asked here, and it will keep me thinking for a while. Great write!

I really liked this one.....beautiful job here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
