you say

You look at me like if I was something new

But the only thing different about me is

That I’m real

You say I’m different

But I already know

You say I should never change

But there are things about me

I should change

I will always be real

And I will always be here

hope you like it!

I feel like the first line should be 'as if I was something new' instead of 'like if'. Other than that this poem was very short but very powerful in its meaning. I enjoyed it! J'adore! -Ian

I really like this one. A few of my friends have said that I had changed over the year and I agree. I am more true to who I really am and not who everyone wishes me to be. I think that important and this poem speaks that in volumes. Thank you for the write:)

Wonderful poem, speaks some important truth. Even if we are okay the way we are,we should always keep changing and evolving - that's how progress can be made.
At the same time, it is important to be "real" and true to ourselves.

I like the purpose of this poem. Being real and honest is the best way. Don't need to hide behind lies and stories. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

you should do an excercise in showing vs. telling. you say these these things, but to add power to them, add in descriptions. how will you always be here? how are you different?
