Cant stand to look at myself
This mirror reflects soemthing fake
Its the comple opposite of who I am
I've made so many mistakes

I purposed to be myself
Not to conform to the world
But after awhile it was too hard
And my challenging life began to unfurl

Just like a carpet
With piles of dirt underneath
People think they know me
But they know not what lies beneath

One of these days i'll change
And forever be myself
But until I have the strength to,
The secrets will be kept on my shelf

this is a bit confusing...even to me and i wrote it.  i just took everything i'm feeling at the moment, which is confusing! and made it into a poem.

Hey bekahlekah45,

Okay, I like it. At least I think I like this poem?

For me also it is a little confusing, so I’m going to ask you a question about it, if that’s okay? If not don’t answer…

1) When you said, “I purposed to be myself” are you saying you are living, striving to be yourself, Or is that a typo? It could be either, I’m just thinking that “purposed” might be a little confusing to the reader at first glance… although, I believe that I prefer the “purposed”.

Also in that same stanza I mentioned above you have these lines

But after awhile it was too hard
and my hard life began to unfurl”


for me on this stanza I do not feel that saying “hard” twice is… I don’t know what I’m talking about so if I can confuse you I apologize. Back to the saying it twice, I guess the only word to use would be repetitive, I believe you could say hard more than once in this poem. Yet having them in the same stanza, next to each other I feel like it doesn’t fit as well as something else could.

I did like how you described yourself as a carpet that’s very unique, I’d never really thought about it that way, but it does make sense once I think about it. I really loved that part…

Anyway, great poem, it’s a little bit different, I believe, than anything I’ve ever seen you write. Very enjoyable though.
Thanks for sharing with everyone, I don’t know why I’m the only one to post on it so far…

As always,
Stargal

Joking around is usually fine, but when you do it in public it can sometimes leave others with a really bad impression. Unfortunately for you, we take respect for others very seriously. It's no joke around here, I'm afraid.

Had the disparaging remarks been limited to just two friends playing around, I would have simply asked both of you to take it somewhere else. We're not interested. As so often happens, however, the lack of respect spread and rude comments were left on the poetry of others as well. Sorry, but that won't be tolerated.

All rude remarks outside this thread have been removed. Posting privileges for TheCoolestKidYouKnow have been suspended. The joke is now over. Feel free to email me directly if you'd like to discuss alternatives.

I liked this poem a lot.. unfurl? I'm not sure what you meant by that? maybe uncurl? I've never heard the word unfurl but maybe I'm wrong. lol.. as for the joking around. I don't like that too much either. I have to agree.. this site is one of my favorite and it's wasting my time reading stuff like that.. sorry no offense.. I loved your poem though..
Great write..
