JUST ME

by BreeAnna   May 24, 2007


I'm not perfect,
no were close,
I have very pale skin,
and as some would call it a button nose.

I have my secrets,
that I fight to hide,
it's not that I am ashamed,
more embarrassed for my pride.

Everyday is a struggle,
because I want to look my best,
and everyday I pray to him,
that one day I can throw away the key after locking them in a chest.

These imperfections are who I am,
what I stand for,
who I have and will always be,
but I want no more.

I am afraid to show who I really am,
afraid of being turned away, hurt, like every time before,
so if you or anyone else is wondering at any point in time,
that is why I am constantly blocked by my inner door.

One day I will open the door,
and confront to you who I am,
but right now, right here
who you see is just a scam.

If we are able to breathe, walk and talk,
we should be proud no matter what,
but sometimes I find it easier,
if this door remains shut.

    I really like the topic you wrote about, everybody has things about them self they don't like, especially with apppearance. the reality is we can't change these things, people will love you for you don't worry. I thought your poem was excellent and the ideas to, but your flow is off in spots. Adding or subtracting words that aren't needed will help your flow. Your a great writter and you'll only get better with time. Fantastic poem 5/5

    I agree with the majority of the comments already posted that you have written a very deep and presonnel emotional write. You should not be afraid to show ho you really are young lady. May you one day find the peace and joy you seek in your heart each and everyday. Take care young lady and keep on writing.

    This poem is really deep and emotional, very personal too.

    'I am afraid to show who I really am,
    afraid of being turned away, hurt, like every time before,
    so if you or anyone else is wondering at any point in time,
    that is why I am constantly blocked by my inner door.'

    This was my favorite part of the poem. Never be afraid to show who you really are. If people don't like you for who you are who cares what others think as long as your proud with yourself and confident!!
    xx Rox Keep it up babe!
