Kinda is a silly name, but I didn't have a betta one...

Where to go,
which road to take,
what is real
and what is fake?

I am standing here
all alone,
I have to make it
on my own.

Each word you speak
you send assail,
shooting me down,
making me fail.

I try to ignore,
I try to be me,
but all your doubt
is pushing down on me.

My dreams simple,
my wishes true
have to help me
make it through.

Where to go,
which turn to make,
I don't want to live
an original fake.


Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice!

"Where to go,

I love this ending! This is a beautiful poem. Simple style, but very emtion-filled. I love it. I bet you probably hate it when people say "I know how you feel." But I do know what you're talking about. I always feel like I can't be myself around people who are my friends... it's not easy. If you ever want to talk, email me: Supr23Grl@aol.com. Feel free

Well I thought this was a nice poem. Just stay strong and keep that head up.

An original fake.
Haha... gotta love that. I have been accused of that in other words before.
I'll remember that term.
The poem had a great flow to it, short lines + rhyme scheme = good flow.
A lot of people should remember this formula.
Very nice job.

Always be your true self
don't pretend and mold yourself to what society wants you to be
be who you truly are

Yes, this is very good!!! It's going into the library, because as much as I say it, I HATE the games people play, and hiding themself is just another! Thaks for writing it

Nicely written.
Being a fake is no way to live your life.
Keep your head up and keep writing.

What IS real? and what IS fake?
It's very hard to determine which path to follow.. however.. i do believe the clues that help solve the puzzle DO exist.. but one shouldn't be regretful if one hasn't stumbled upon them yet.. i havent
