Am I Somebody or Myself?

Heroes fall,

Cowards prevail.

My kingdom crashes,

Dust blooming around me.

My world moves,

Changing who I am

Telling me to be someone I’m not

But why all this?

Why must I do this just to feel like I’m someone?

To not feel like I’m nobody,

Like I’m somebody?

This can’t all work,

I can’t just change how I dress,

What music I listen to,

How I talk

Who I hang out with.

I can’t change that

But what do I need to do to just feel like

I don’t know,

Myself?

Change cause you want to change and for nobody else, great piece of work.

Kyline, never change, especially not your writing because this is amazing. It's short but thought provoking. I also really like the style in which is written. It's chaotic yet it exactly as it is supposed to be.

This seems quite thoughtful in a way. Enough for it to be simple to read, at the very least. Which is really good. I'm no good at analyzing poetry, but most of the time, I try and understand the idea. It's as if you're screaming out against a negative outlook towards you. I've been there, so I think I know what you mean.

In regards of the poem - it's really good, I like it. In regards to the thought - persevere and you shall see - Kingdoms crash all the time, but the strongest ones are like phoenixes - they will rise again.

I don't get poetry- never have, so I'm not really in any position to comment. thanks for asking me to review though, its err...nice?

I say do what you are told until you can make the rules, then when the orders stop, dye your hair, get that tattoo, and be who you want to be- until then, sorry- they is the boss!

BTW, if the poem is meant to sadden- :( I'm there.

Kyline, this is a darn crazy world and don't change for anyone; I really enjoyed it. Great writing. Thank you. Dale

I've felt sometimes that I'm somebody else, not me
This poem really gets to the core of the reader and is thought provoking
I love this poem, GReat work!

The best thing to do is be yourself. A lot of people hide their true selves so that they can fit in with the crowd, and I know I've done that before. Hiding your true self is bad because it causes trouble, especially with friends... Wonderful poem! Keep on writing and be yourself :)

I think so many people feel like this. It's like you have to fit into certain boxes or else you won't be accepted. This is a great poem, very thought provoking. Keep writing!!

[DoormanDan]

The best thing we can ever ever ever be is our own true selves. I really like this poem a lot, the world needs more pieces of writing like this :)
