You Know Me

YOU KNOW ME INSIDE AND OUT, ALL MY DREAMS, ALL MY FEARS

YOU KNOW THE REASONS BEHIND MY SMILES, BEHIND MY FROWNS, BEHIND MY TEARS

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH TO MY STORIES, WHATS EXAGGERATED, WHATS A LIE

YOU KNOW EVERYTHING FROM WHO AND WHAT TO WHERE AND WHY

YOU KNOW MY WEAKNESS IS MY INSECURITY, MY SHAME AND MY PASSION

YOU KNOW I WANT TO LOOK AT YOU AND SEE THE ME I IMAGINE

YOU KNOW WHO I AM, WHO IVE BEEN AND WHO I COULD BE

YOU KNOW YOU ARE IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO ME

YOU KNOW WHEN I'M FULL OF S**T BECAUSE I OFTEN LIE IN FRONT OF YOU

YOU KNOW I CANT SEE MYSELF FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW

YOU KNOW THIS MADE SENSE WHEN I THOUGHT IT,  MAYBE NOT WHEN I JUST WROTE IT

YOU KNOW ITS HARD TO PAINT A PICTURE, TAKE A MOMENT AND RELOAD IT

YOU KNOW WHEN TO TELL THE TRUTH YOU ARE MY INNER OATH

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, IF YOU DON'T THAT MAKES US BOTH

YOU KNOW YOU ARE MY WORST CRITIC, AT THE SAME TIME MY BIGGEST FAN

YOU KNOW IT IS WHAT IT IS, I AM WHO I AM, BUT MOSTLY I AM WHO I PLAN

YOU KNOW NO MATTER WHERE I GO, NO MATTER WHICH DIRECTION

YOU KNOW WHO I SEE IN THE MIRROR...YOU MY REFLECTION

The caps lock works here. This is a poem that hammers what it is saying, and the repetitious syntactic construction of each line underscores that as well. One thing I like about your writing, you have a sense of how to use rhythm well. That's an important skill to have, so cultivate your talent in that area.

[Elle Thompson]

I can't say I understand the caps lock for an internal monologue. Also I would revise the eleventh line, as is it reads awkward, and too long for the rest of the poem, which bothers me because there's a lot that could be done to shorten it.

A very intriguing take on what makes you who you are today and for the future to come. A personal ode to oneself is priceless in it's own right. Great write. :)

I really like this, apart from the caps lock; but then I know how easy it is to make mistakes.

[Mary Christabel George]

The message in combination with the format is delivered well..........:)

Has almost a rap lyric feel to it, but it worked. It drew me in. Nice read.

[Jack...]

Very cool and delightful to read. That is us that we see and know so well.

[Carolann Dowsett]

No one knows us the way that we know ourselves though sometimes we refuse to see the truth before its too late. I like this a lot it's powerful and insightful and thought provoking.

[quinfinn]

note to self: get a bigger mirror. one which can reflect all those things without condensing them. very different, unique and resonant. nicely done.

Hard to lie to the person in the mirror...but I've seen folks do it for good or bad.

The caps intimidated me at first, but it really works here :D It really beats the message into you. I love the flow and rhythm of this poem. Very nice job :D
