I feel the pressure I have to be Billowy, bright, blind- I have to be whatever it is that They can't find- I have to be beautiful To keep them I have to be sexual Get inside them Abstract and Interesting, can't anybody here tell that I'm fake? Pure, white and unadulterated Bring pleasure in all it's forms- That's me, the girl who provides The girl who gives it all Can't anybody tell that I am Not what I say that I am Not what I show Not what you know, I'm So much of nothing important But I'll never let you find out- Cause I feel the pressure, And I am what I have to be. The night is my companion The solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied? Sarah MacLachlan, "Possession" |

What you write is very true. We have to put on a different face for different people. Not fair but it is the way it works. |

Powerful writing here, the message in your words is true for so many! I know for myself I have wasted the greatest part of my life trying to be the poerson others wanted. Now i just be me, and life is so much better.  Take care!"The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

This was an excellent write, as we all have to play our parts to survive life and love, and only we can answer ourselves as to what should be real. Thanks for the read. Ron Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

This was a well written poem, but I don't agree with your overall statement. We shouldn't act or seem. We should be. What we truly are inside. And were all important. Those just my feelings. take care -Poeminister "...no single sound too rude Upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." --Ed |

Very true words...many times we wear masks so we can be what everyone wants from us...this is very powerful Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |
