Am I not as important to
to you like those other girls?

Am I not as attractive
as them?

Am I not the same person I was
When we first met?

Am I not good
Enough for you?

No. I think it's just that
I'm not the person you want
Your friends to know about.

I want to like this poem. I REALLY want to like this poem. But it just doesn't have the substance. This would have made a better limerick. I mean, it sounds like some snippits out of some argument. 2/5. :) Keep working at it. You have SO much potential. You are SUCH a great poet, but only sometimes. You need to work on your imagery and structure. I personally can't wait to see your next poem, just to see what it will bring. Keep writing. :)

It is better to write for yourself and have no audience than write for your audience and have no self.
