Myself Poem by ben burgess

Myself

Rating: 4.9


These are my words, I’ve never said before,
Before is when I was myself,
Myself is who I thought I knew,
Now I know that wasn’t really me,
Take of it what you will,
Will you realize for you do not know me,
But you presume still,
Still I’d like to be human just like you are,
Are the feelings you feel for me too far,
Far from your senses allow,
For I do not understand how,
How you are happy with the life you lead,
Lead yourself not into temptation,
Temptation is a world of greed.

Well thought out Ben - the usage of same word ending and beginning is novel and reads well..... concept good - - could do with a little more meat maybe as body of the piece is a little in need..... a very good read however and 10 from Fay..

I like this one but it doesn't have the rythm that it needs to flow properly and is not consistant rhyming, Continue however writing down your feelings however you wish. It's who you are. God Bless, Linda

Great work Ben, I feel it. I really do, it's pretty close how I feel it. And if you didnt write this, I wouldve. :)

On occasion I agree with Fay Slimm. This is such an occasion. Flesh out the poem as there must be plenty to tell. A very good effort though. H
