Real Me

"Oh wow, look at that hair"
Yeah yeah whatever
"Oh my gosh, look at what she wears"
Oh right, just all join together.

Talk and talk whatever you like
Because you won't see me put up a fight
For I don't care, what you say
About my hair or what I wear
For goodness sake-
At least I'm not fake.

You all care about your wonderful looks
Time I'd rather spend reading a book
She wears glasses...so is she a nerd?
That's so stupid, so absurd
You'll waste your life, wondering what others think
And because of that - like a rock, you'll sink.

At least, I have a real soul
This is me, get it through your skull.

Author notes

Oh, well..once again I was bored and yeah people are weird always caring about others looks so yeah.

    The rhyming was a bit forced, but it worked in some places. I wish you had talked more about your soul, because that's what you wrote that you liked about yourself, no? The last two lines of the 2nd to last stanza really made me laugh, "You'll waste your life, wondering what others think / And because of that - like a rock, you'll sink." :-P

    It's great that you can keep on doing what you do despite the comments.

    Good luck!

    Good Work!

    Always take the higher ground. I like who I am even if nobody else does and I'm not on this earth to be someone else... that's someone else's job. I'm really impressed by this poem and it's obvious that you aren't fake and that you have a tremendous soul and heart. Be blessed, my friend!

    Amazing!

    It's funny I was just thinking the same thing the other day... everyone judges everyone else by outward appearances, never looking far enough into the soul. So what if your not a "barbie" I'm not one either and I'm proud to say that. lol Great write and I'm glad that you don't feed into all the opinions others have of you. Life isn't about molding yourself into what others want to see, it's about being happy and being the person you want to be.

    This is a strong and powerful complaint that you have written against the urge for people to judge each other on looks. What's wrong with being yourself and acting like it, huh?

    This is a good rant and I enjoyed reading this.

    Keep it up, and more important, keep on being who you are

    I read the piece inspired by this work written by Sunset Angel. I see why she was inspired - it says basically the same thing except you involve something that she doesn't. And I like that. SOUL. There are some people with soul and some who just don't have a clue and if they ever get it, it comes much later in life, frequently after some tragedy or something. I haven't checked but it seems the two of your are rather young. Knowing oneself is one of the keys to not only being sucessful but happiness in life. In the line fourth from the bottom, I think the word "like" should be "life" unless I'm missing somehting. Enjoyed this a lot. Many safe returns...

    Great write. So true. Keep thinking that way and read and write on. I LOVE Nerdsville and plan on staying there for a long time.

    ON a poetic note, the flow was a little staggered, should be a little more smooth. I'd work on the meter. Also some of the rhyme is forced but don't do to much to it, if you do anything. Because you don't want change it too much.

    All in all I applaud your message. You GO girl!
