    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this for a poetry challenge in the forum threads.

    I Pretend I Am

     I am not what I seem to be
    I wonder if others truly can see
    I hear their words of approval
    I see their sneering grins
    I want simply to be me
    I am not what I seem to be

    I pretend all is well, smile through the tears
    I feel as if my emotions only skim the surface
    I touch deep with in feeling nothing there
    I worry for me it may be too late
    I cry for this lost sense of being
    I am simply wanting to make sense of me

    I understand what it is that needs to be done
    I say one thing however while I do another
    I dream in only black and white now
    I try to live realistically with in my needs
    I hope one day for sure things will be moderately alright
    I am still just trying to figure out what is best about me

    Whats best about you is the Lord Jesus Christ love you, accept you the way you are. You just got to accept him so he can give you the love you desever. God Almight want you to know today you are beautiful and he love's you.He can't make you feel beautiful inside and out, know man can give you the love that he can.

    This write is so poignant.Perhaps fear is what keeps most from acknowledging such a truth. Great write! ~Molly~

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
