Why...?
Why do I change and try to be
Something so different from the real me
When surely all the things I am
Are what first made you give a damn
I don't know why I feel shame
And always need to take the blame
For everything as if I'm at fault
When all I've done is let you into the vault
Which holds my true identity
And each unique propensity
The things I like and want to do
My aspirations even if they make me blue
Define the very essence of my being
The dreams which within my head I'm seeing
I need to learn not to dim my light
Just because you feel it burns to bright
I must remember not to make myself smaller
Just to make you feel somewhat taller
Why should I always want to agree
With everything that you say or see
I am a person of my own creation
Without the need for connection or correlation
Between who and what I am and you
To I alone I must be true

Dear Amandaboo,
A most happy welcome to the family of Cosmofunnel.
Kieran told me about one of our wonderful new poets.
I have made a copy of your poem "Why?".
I do all my comments in the middle of the night, so I will be posting it tomorrow morning.
You will also notice that I write most of them, in poetic style.
I am looking very forward to keeping in touch, and if there is any way that I can help you, please feel free to ask.
Peace and Love,

Hi AMANDABOO!!.....I agree with your intent wholeheartedly..... It's never a good idea to define one's identity by the will or thoughts of another!!.....I VERY MUCH like the tone of positivity in this piece and the well considered phrasing works well because of the precision in the delivery of your metering!!...... it is a fine début piece!!......ALL STARS!!.... well done dear poet sister!!...... and....WELCOME to COSMO!!...... LOVE and ROCKETS!!......T xo ????? ?
Hi Amandaboo,
Now that I have had time to ingest your beautiful words, I give you my poetic response.
"To Thine Own Self Be True"
Said a Bard of great renown
Stand tall and revel in yourself
Let no other bring you down
.
Accept me for that which I really be
Try not to change my ways
Then "True Love" will we come to know
For all the rest our days
Again, welcome to your new family. We look forward to sharing your future works.
Peace and Love,
