Funhouse?

    (I can't believe how UGLY I am!) 

 

 

 

 

 

I love to see
a brand new me
left to my own device
I'll gladly pay the price
(against my dad's advice)

 

they multiply
as I walk by
new selves I've come to know
bent mirrors row by row
such images they show

 

the convex one
is so much fun
and has such broad appeal
the fun-house lets you feel
a new take on what's real

 

they're all so new
which one is "you"
when everywhere I see
someone that looks like me

or how I wish to be

 

I grow and shrink
"It's fun!" I think
what I've been waiting for

I'll never find the door
and stay here evermore

    Great fun poetry and I'm all in favour of us getting a whole new PerVirtuous of course
    Different rhyme and metrical schemes and a well worked poem as we both expect from you, thanks for the entry and we hope to see more in the later rounds.

      It is not an autobiographical account. It is a satyrical poem about how some people create new selves for themselves with their writing and learn to believe the written selves to be real, thus actually living vicariously through themselves.

    Fun house mirrors freak me out

    But to me this speaks of wanting to see oneself differently.. as many do... physical or otherwise.. I'd never pay for it tho! lol
