It’s the way of life
The way to survive
Having a good image
Creating good impressions

It gets friends
Helps decide who is foe
It helps you succeed
And move on in life

It is something that can’t be faked
It cannot be changed by another
You are who you are
And you made you that way

The way your surroundings affect you
The way people touch you
Make you who you are
Form your life

Your image is you
It can’t be taken away
Or changed by others
It is life

i like the way you wrote this poem although i don't agree with some of the things said.

Now night arrives with her purple legions
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready. - JM

I agree with anomaly, as I probably usually will. Image is nothing. The poem was written very well though. keep it up bud!

Ok this was well written but I think an image can be fake and it could be changed by someone else...You wrote a good poem...But I see it in a different point of view...

I like how this is written, but i agree with the others.  There are parts of our life and image that can be affected by others.  That's not the way it should always be, but to me it seems to be the truth.
