I'm Not Known

thoughtful, smile, eyes, smile, color,

I’m not known by my face

or the color of my skin

I’m not known by my race

or whether I’m fat or thin

I’m not known by my smile

or the color of my eyes

I’m not known for running a mile

or for things that bring me fame

I’m not known for playing jokes

not known for anything much

I’m simply known by all my folks

for who I really am

Someone whose caring and thoughtful

yes, that’s who I truly am

I like the beginning of this much more than the ending and that's probably because you abandon the wonderful structure you used throughout that drew me into your work. As it is the ending is flat and it's not because of what you say, but how you say it. Good effort just the same.

Though poetically written, it has a very simple concept...not that that's bad, sometimes simplicity is bliss. This was a very well written work with an idea that I feel most people overlook. The idea of being known for who you are as a person rather than for appearance or aspiration (?...perhaps talent would have been a better word) is an almost forgotten concept in the world today. It seems we as humans all live to feed the facade of society, it's nice to see a piece pertaining to being true to oneself. Great job.
