Fake Identities

by Sara   Feb 3, 2007


I do everything I can to get you to notice me
wear nice clothes, do my hair as pretty as can be
look up your favorite sports teams
,you're even in my dreams.

I act smart in class
but you seem to see right past
the good in me
and tend to see
that girl, who you always try to impress
and you try to dress
nice, and you make sure that
you look cool,
and try to pretend that you really don't like school

I know the real you,
and thats what I love you for,
but you're trying to show that girl
a person who's not really you,

Oh no!

which is what Im trying to do...

    There were a couple of lines that possibly could do with a few more syllables in them.. They were just slightly shorter than either the prceding line or the one following it. Example of this
    "you look cool,
    and try to pretend that you really don't like school"

    Well, for the first thing I love the title. Grabs you by the scruff of the neck and forces you to read this poem. Really powerful title - nicely chosen.
    I simply adore the story being told here .. you are/were not in this boat alone. This is synonymous with most teenagers (and some adults). We ridicule others for dressing their best to impress; then go ahead and do it ourselves.
    Apart from a couple of out of place lines, the flow of this was brilliant. It flows almost like a song. Very nice work indeed.
    By the time you have finished reading this piece, you don't want to grab your glad-rags to go out in. Just slap on some sweats, and be real!

    ~Overall~
    Very impressive piece, it's a poem that isn't just impressive to read .. but contains within the text, a valid message about life today.
