Be yourself
who are you
do you even know
the bruises the scars?
are you going to let that define your life?
is that who you wanna be
it's ok not to be you
hide behind a fake smile
live in a fantasy
it's just easier
but in the end you will always just
"be yourself"

Ok, Gigi. I'd suggest leaving out the caps at the beginning of each line. I like the form you used and your message.

Hey Gi
I quite like this piece and Mr. A (*looks up) was quite right, it reads much better without those caps.
But Im feeling something about this line puts the whole read into a confusion.
" the bruises the scars is that who you wanna be"
I thought maybe...
"the bruises the scars
is that who you wanna be"
or even dare I say free it up a little?
" the bruises
the scars
is that who you wanna be?"
All just opinion, because I like the message, the write is tight and the verse is real. The structure has a unique quality that works well with the over all piece.
Kudos from me.

Hmmm I'm liking the question mark. And I'm having a hard time with putting the words where I want them on my phone. It looks one way! Then when I hit submit its not how I want it. But thanks for the help :*)

always be yourself, but don't convince yourself that being you is being a victim.
Love the positive vibe coming through in this piece, heavy subject given a light and well written touch.
Thanks for the read.

I love the poem, but I also like how you were given constructive criticism without bashing your work.
This piece should be posted everywhere, because the message is clear.
Way to go!!!!!

This is great with a great message. I love your structure. I try things like that sometimes and always just end up backspacing all the lines back to the front. Clearly it works here though. Great job!

Being yourself is sometimes hard when you want to be like everyone else. I like this piece because it gives a positive resolution and not necessarily a negative one. Well done, GiGi;)

Oh Gigi. I see myself in this poem. Tears fall from my eyes, heart and soul. I struggle with this everyday that I draw a breath.

Don't let it get you. Stand strong! Hope you feel better! Don't let anyone make you feel like you're not worthy of being yourself! Trust me you're xooxox
