Misconcieved

Listen to the screams
Is it what it seems?
Try to read my mind
What do you find?
Is it what you’re looking for?
Keep searching for more
It is really me?
Is that what you see?
Who I am now
Who I was then
Do you really know
The thoughts behind this pen?
Am I who you say?
Or am I what I know
Am I what you presume?
Does my true self show?
I am who I am
I can only be me
I try to portray
Feelings running free
Its easy to judge
But is that really me?

    hey

    Sorry I judged this contest so late. I had a million and one things to do.

    I really think your poem made a clear statement.
    Of course you know yourself better than anyone else. Everyone knows themselves better than another. And I can not tell who you are from this one poem, so I could never judge who you are, only what you wrote, I hope you, as the author of this poem can understand that.

    I find it easy to identify with your poem, though I had a very good reason not to put all my own poems like this on the internet. And that reason is, that everybody feels like you described at a certain point of there lives. And a little originality certainly wouldn’t harm anyone.
    Your poem is a lot like a million poems I wrote. It is teenage thinking. Just like a lot of the other poems that entered this contest.

    Thank you for entering this contest, I hope you didn’t take this personally. You put great effort in this, I just think you could do better.

    Love & peace

    Ps.: If you read some of the comments on other poems, you will see that a lot of them are the same, because I decided to make my comments just as original as the poems
