Another Me

by Kuro   Apr 21, 2012


Deep inside, there is another me;
Desperately pleading, waiting to be free.
Hated and beaten, he bleeds and screams,
Hiding because I dont want them to see.

I do not think they can handle the truth;
Reality of self, contrived from my youth.
I complete the facade, a hidden ruse,
They would only hate me as much as I do.

Smile and pretend who they want me to be;
Mirror on the wall, reflecting society.
Cradling a dead personality,
To keep status-quo normality

    I really like this piece, you have a great use over language and your vocab, flow was fantastic and the tone was perfect all the way through. Its good to see your use of punctuation being spot on too, sometimes people use it and it interrupts the flow of the piece because they've not got it down right.....sad but wonderful write :-)

    We all feel this way at point or the other in our life and it hurts to carry on this way. We put up a show just to fit into society or we will be ridiculed and at the same time we don't want to let down those around us. A very sad write where the weight of sadness in the heart is poured onto paper...take care.
