Kayla


Kayla is not my name. She went away. Left years ago.

Who am I? I don't know. I forgot who I was. Now I'm lost.

Kayla is just a memory. Tucked away. Safely hidden in the shadows.

Save me.  Save who? Which one is me? Wait! Is that you?

Blending in. Mixed up. Thrown down. Confused now.

Don't care. Choose to forget. I don't need her. She wasn't perfect.

I've become an actress. I don't have a life. I sold it. Didn't want it.

Too complicated.

    This was an amazing poem. I liked the depth and all the emotions in it; a lot of people can relate to this piece. I also liked the form you used in this piece. It's different but still works marvelously. Wonderful work

    This is really great. I can't tell you how many times I, (and I'm sure countless others) have felt just the same. We all wear the mask.

    Wow that is great!! I loved it!!! I loved the way you did this, "I've become an actress" You really captured what people do so much today, to be happy they pretend it, they lose themselves in their acts. It's sad how they can go that low to do that, but you did so wonderful on this, excellent job again.

    You've perfectly captured a sense of a lack of identity and wanting to be someone else. It is a very sad piece, but you also manage to explain what you feel. I like the style and structure you used, it worked very well with the piece.

    This is a wonderful piece of writing. I hope that you are able to figure out who you are and learn to be happy with yourself, despite any imperfections (and we all have 'em, so don't be so hard on yourself). I know how it feels to not want to accept less than perfection from yourself, so I wish you good luck in getting past that.
