and i know i'll never be
the image you made,
the one that you want
part of your cherade.

even though i want to
i know i never will,
it was all just a game
and i want you still.

i know i'll never be
your angel in disguise
cause you had to use me
tease me with your lies.

i tell myself to forget
secret love that i found
i try, i try to no avail
my love won't be unwound.

i want to share some too
good to be true nights
and fulfill my promises
under cover of starlight.

i know i'll never be
the girl the world wants
i know i'll always be
the one the world daunts.

and maybe someday
i'll share my myth wih you
but for now i'll just be
the girl that won't do.

I've been there too. Well written, Angel.

I love your closing stanza.  This entire poem rings with the importance of respect for ourselves as individuals.

What a beautiful philosophy you've set forth.  Bravo.

Angel-
You've done a great job of expressing these feelings.
I really enjoyed reading this.
VERY well done.

i think you should try using capital letters when necessary.  they give the impression that you take your poetry very seriously.  i think it would add a lot to the piece.  good write nonetheless.

Vicky,
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

pharon,
Thank you as well. I put a lot of thought into this one although the emotions are not what I'm feeling right now, or had been feeling for a while.

jen,
I apologize that you did not like the style of this one, but the lack of capital letters was intentional. Every other poem I've written has paid close attention to capitalization. It was specifically done to get across the idea of how my narrator feels insecure and has low self esteem. I knew it wouldn't work for everyone but thank you for sharing your opinion. It's greatly appreciated.

"The girl that would never do"
Ha, I find that unlikely! You can't just think so low of yourself due to some negative happening. You must press on.
Ultimately, you are a girl that will do, and do quite fine, mind you.
Maybe you're just not seeing that, but I am positive others are

Great poem, you captured your thoughts rather well.

*thinks* *hugs* I love the way you started this off with the "and"! It's so great! It sucks that you feel this way though... I've been there (still am) and know how badly it sucks. *hugs again*
