I'm not everything you think I am

  I am not nice

  and sweet.

  I am rude 

  and obnoxious.

  I am not pretty

  and dressed in

  pearls.

  I am ugly

  and dressed

  in rags.

  I am not perfect.

  I am not clean.

  I am not amazing.

  So tell me, what

  do you see in a

  person like me?

Everyone hides behind a mask of their own making. At least you are smart enough to notice that you aren't always what you seem, but you're letting yourself get into that state of mind where you think nothing but horrors about yourself. No one is perfect. Everyone is beautiful. Life is precious. And we must always know that somewhere inside us we are a good person and all those good things. You're a good writer and you use that to convey your feelings and that's perfectly fine just the way it is.

i really do like it. no pity. it shows that every one has a sort of mask. and some people never really show who they really are. sometimes i feel exactly the same way, like im not good enough. :) it was well written. it shows that nobody is perfect, and that no matter who you are someone willl love you even if you dont understand why they do. :)

I get where your coming from when you wrote this. But only you can change the voices that lay dormant in your mind. All the comments of people saying that its not true and that you shouldn't feel this way won't help your mind until you decide to truly let yourself believe them. Remember that your lovely, and can write a really great poem. Stay strong Xx

Interesting. As a slighly paranoid person i went out with someone once and had all thouse thougts running through my head. Insecuritys shown. Started off reminding me a bit of the pink song. I liked it ...

I can relate, I am like this all the time, these type of statements going through my mind constantly, I understand x

I would suggest to write a poem about what you are. I do like it . I felt alot of rage from it . Keep it up !

You know you're own worst enemy...no pity given to you....I'm going through the same thing...Trying to find who I am looking in the mirror and seeing somebody totally different standing there....But I promise you, one day you and me both will actually look in the mirror and be happy cuz we found ourself

Awesome work on the poem, nearly brought me to tears, it has a deep meaning for me

Sometime the hardest person is the one looking back in the mirror. Each of us are different. Want more or less. I do my best to look for the good in people. I'm far from perfect and I accept who I'm and what I want. A excellent poem. Need to look hard at people. Look for the good and kindness. Not the weaknesses and mistakes.
