Live Only Her Own

by Michelle18   Jan 29, 2007


Baby blue eyes,
Filled with tears.
Beautiful face,
Hiding behind her fears.
Curly brown hair,
Always straight and let down.
Half way smile,
Taken over by a frown.
Everyday she awakes,
Living a lie.
She doesnt even try,
She just starts to cry.
For some strange reason,
She wants to be someone else.
Maybe then she wouldnt have to feel,
What she's already felt.
She puts those thoughts in the back of her mind,
And pulls herself together.
She says she's done nothing but cry,
She cant live that life forever.
Her good thoughts become heard,
The bad become unknown.
She decides not to live someone elses life,
But to live only her own.

    "She doesnt even try,"
    -Doesn't needs an apostrophe. :]

    Hmm, first of all a really nice poem. I love how you first explain the physical features of this girl, her hair, her eyes, her frown, ect. ect. It was excellent. Then, you go on and explain how all you do is cry, you aren't overally happy with yourself and all you wish is that you could be someone else. I saw some true feelings come out and I could tell that you weren't happy with yourself for some various reasons [ like for example you say that you don't want to feel what you've felt, and that you could escape those terrible feelings.. or lets just assume they are terrible, right? :]]] okay, but anyway.. I am basically just restating what your poem was about. lmao. Don't worry about being perfect, hun.. we aren't at all perfect. We all wish we were someone else, because we aren't always happy with who we are, or what we've dealt with in our lifetimes.. We want to escape those things, but we never ever will be able to in our lifetimes.. regardless of how hard we try. Who knows if I'm even making sense here. Haha. Anyways... I absolutely love the last two lines.. they are powerful and wow'd me. It was amazing.. it just summed everything up, and kind of gave me the hope that you only deal with your own life, and not others. Which is good! :] Using the title at the end was perfect. Very fitting to the poem. Overall, excellent. 5/5.
