And The Award Goes To ..

by Meme   Mar 4, 2012


I should win an Oscar for
all the different roles I play.
Now a broken woman, but who
knows what I'll be the next day.

A stranger to my own skin,
wandering with a lost identity.
This desirous mind had never
tasted the flavors of serenity.

Graduating from the theater
of life, I am now standing here.
With multiple characters, but
still carrying the same fear.

All the curtains that closed
and all the makeup I had on.
It feels like everyday I am
running my own marathon.

Never realized that this role
had defined my last chapter.
A handkerchief and a rose,
lead me to my ever after.

So I finally washed up those
masqueraded eyes to see,
that around him I have found
the best version of me.

    It's been sooo long since I last read your poetry, due to the lack of time and the lack of credit, lol. But I am admiring your new style (I don't know if anyone noticed that your style has changed but I did!) I am on my phone now- so y'know I can't leave a real comment, just wanted to say that I truly loved this piece. Nice!

    This was so creative the idea is simply unique

    I love poems tht take you by surprize . i saw the tittle and alot of ideas went through
    i thought i wonder whats shes done with this piece
    I would never of guessed. somtimes you do feel as if you have to be diffrent in front of certain people somtimes even forgeting who you truly are.

    The poem it self was very well written i loved the word choice and the flow it all comes together perfectly.

    I dont no y but i feel as tho more could of been done with this idea a more deeper write into the speaker ... I think its just cause i see this as a sad poem oviously your endding isnt as she found her best version of her self in him ... anyway overall a very well written unique poem

    NOMINATION!

    This poem was more then just a simple write. We all have roles that we play and almost hourly can change the theme for the moment. Women share the majority of this, from mother to , lover to friend and housekeeper.
    Finding someone that you can be yourself with is major.
    Enjoyable write

    I love this poem and I can so relate to it. Each stanza got better and better. The idea that you are playing these roles I am thinking that you are trying to hide your true feelings from others or you are trying to become what others want you to become.

    I think the rhyming was flawless and the images were awesome.

    This is going to my fav!

    Awwww this poem is so beautiful! I love the title of this poem and the theme, it was so amazing... I could relate in so many ways! It was like you were writing my thoughts.. sometimes I feel like an actress too, and that I can play so many different roles!

    I like how the ending was a surprise... I like how a person can bring out the best version of yourself... that was a really sweet ending.

    I love it! Great job <3 and the Oscar goes to YOU! =D
