He copies someone's style because he does not know what to wear.
He steals someone’s ideas because he doesn’t have anything to say.
He fakes his homework because he is terrified of failing.
He lives a plagiarized existence

Layer after layer he bundles himself up,
Mortified someone will see his burnt flesh.
After awhile, he forgets about his scars,
And looks upon his jacket as if it were his skin.

Until, every night, he goes to the cave.
There, like a chameleon in a mirrored box,
He cannot escape his reflection.
It is here I miss her.

wELCOME.
This is an awesome poem. I love the way you took out your ideas and made them feel like it is actually a movie.

Keep them coming.

Hey Penguin5,

First off let me say awesome first post!
I loved the title in this, it fit so well with the poem. The poem itself? Amazing, very well described, nice stanzas, very interesting. Let me just say it caught and held my attention! I had to finish reading it, more like i read it over and over...

Also, welcome to pip! I'm sorry that I did not welcomed you earlier. Keep up the good writes though, i'd love to see more
