Who is this person that is staring at me?
Ugliness and worthless is all I see
My reflection isn't anything not anything at all
My life feels like nothing one continuous fall
I struggle and try to be the liked one
But in the end does it matter when it's all said and done
People see my makeup that's all they see
People see my makeup and not the real me I am not beautiful it is just a mask
Sometimes I feel like life is an ongoing routine and a task
I don't understand why I am here today I don't see a reason for me to stay
I struggle and try All I can do is look in the mirror and cry
Why can't I be like her, so confident so sure Why can't I just be like her?
But I can't in this body I stay
Don't feel sorry for me and say it'll all be okay
It wont be okay and it's not going to be all right
I feel like I can not sleep at night The world and people can be so mean
I wish I could go unheard of unthought of and unseen
Make me disappear and go away I would do anything to not be here today
Why am I so concerned about anyone and what they perceive me to be?
I don't understand it, why can't they just see me
I want to disappear I can't be here any longer
I wish I was brave I wish I was stronger I'm about to break
Everything me myself I can't take

Welocme to Passions!! I'm going to tell you it'll be okay even though you said not to. I don't know if you're still going through the emotions you were when you wrote this, but believe me, I've been there, and I'm still here (physically anyway). If you ever need to talk, email me, and I'll listen. Great write, and way to go on expressing what you really feel!

Welcome to Passions!

Your first piece has a lot of potential in it. One recommendation is that you review your lines. The rhyme is good but you seriously need to break up the lines so it reads a bit better. Good choice of a first poem too. I look forward to viewing your replies in the future.

Welcome to Passions! I really liked this poem! If you'd like a deeper reply, I could give you one, but you'd have to have the critique flag up which shows members that they can deeply critique your poem.
Right now I can say that I did like the poem a lot and it shows a lot of talent.

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

Hey! Welcome, i'm a little slow replying but i get around to it... *L* like what someone else already said re-read your lines and watch the syllables.  lol i'm a stickler on syllables because you can ALWAYS re-word a sentence so it has a different number of syllables by taking out a word or adding another. it really affects the flow and sometimes it can have another affect on the poem... an even better one! well lol enough of me talkin... good write tho i hear ya.
