Myself or Somebody else?


Why do I always fight myself

Preventing myself from being myself

I’m still in my own body

But at the same time I’m somebody else

I may not like me

But I’m still me 

But know matter how many times

I must tell myself this

I will always be someone other than myself

Before I began writing, I was someone other than myself. Writing is my way to be me and put my world in words. Through this site, I hope that I can grow as a writer and hopefully be known in the writing community one day. That said, if you like my writing please share my work and help me out, thank you! Also, if you ever want to contact me, my email is [email protected]. Don’t be shy, email me; tell me something about one of my poems, maybe tell me your favorite one or least favorite, anything!! I want to improve as a writer so I love all constructive criticism and compliments too of course. Have a good day!
