Hello- this is my first ever post on PIP, and I would really appreciate any comments you have.

This poem was written because of a guy I like, and then kind of about my dad who is never around.
-----------------

Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
I live a secret life
Full of both happiness and hate

Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
You don’t see the tears that fall every night
While I lay here thinking of you

Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
I've got a secret life
Filled with thoughts of you

Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
You only see the happiness
That revolves around you

Do you know the real me?
I don't think you do
You never see the hate
That revolves around you too

Do you know the real me?
I don't think you do
I live a secret life
Full of both happiness and hate.

Hey Bailey! I think your poem is awesome.  I could really relate to it. I really like this stanza:

"Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
You only see the happiness
That revolves around you


Thanks Nan and Sunshine for helping her join.
And welcome to Pip Bailey.

Thanks... Alli. I've got one thats specifically about my dad... but I dont really want to post it b.c I'm new. So you'll just have to wait.

I know the poem might get a little annoying, because of the Do you know me? I dont think you do thing, but I think its the best I've written in a long time.

I wasn't forcing the rhyming, and it just came off the top of my head.I didn't get stuck in the middle of it and wonder how I was gonna finish it. Lol, I prbly didn't write it in the best time tho. I was in Social Studies during a review for our end-of-quarter test. haha!

I love this poem
i can really relate to it.
especially the part
"do you really know me
I dont think you do
I live a secret life
full of both happiness and hate."
I hope you dont mind

Wow, guys! Thanks a lot! I've written a couple others in the past 2 days, that I'll post soon. Sadly i still have homework to do for the meanest teacher, so i've gotta get that done first.

Thanks again,
Bailey

P.S. I dont mind if you share it! <3

I thougt this poem was very heartfelt and sincere.  Not to mention extremely well written for a first post, much better than my own, anyway (I'm sure its still rotting in the archives somewhere)!  I though it was a bit repetitive, but it seems to work for this one.  Welcome to Passions! Hopefully I'll be able to stick around long enough to keep reading more from you!

Welcome to Passions! And I enjoyed reading the thoughts in this. As for a failure to see? It's often called selective inattention...we see what we choose to see, and ignore the rest most of the time.
Have fun here in the blue.

Do you know the real me?
I don’t think you do
You don’t see the tears that fall every night
While I lay here thinking of you

-I can relate so much to this. It's perfect, it's great. It's so true. I don't have anything else to say than, it's a great poem. I like it

Thanks again! I really don't know what to say. You are all very helpful in my writing. I plan on posting others tonight provided I get homework done. Lol, gotta have it, gotta hate it.

Hey welcome to pip!! I hope you make a very good home for yourself here...I liked this..very good for a first post and very emotional, lovely writing. The only thing I didn't like was the repetition of the first stanza in the end, I don't think it needed to still have a good solid ending, just my take on it. Once again, well written!
