This is sort of an essay poem describing insecurities about writing or other things, it seemed as if you were angry at the reader, it was a bit short and didnt exactly capture a deep emotion, although you were aiming for one

Thank you for your review.
Comment from catch22
This was a well-written and deeply personal free verse poem. You showed a vulnerable side of yourself that many don't get to see here on FS. I think there's always more to a person than what they project, and I sincerely believe you are trying to help all of us here on FS achieve our own potential. I think it's easy for your critics to get personal because their egos have been bruised by your critiques, but never let it distract you from the writers who truly wish to grow and expand their capabilities. We stand to benefit from your help and guidance, and the "harsh" truth you dole out here on FS is nothing compared to the rejection and general disregard a writer will get when rejected by a publisher.

Wow- This could be me. I am not arrogant but hold my head up. I do not own any item of Brooks Brothers but have bought an on sale item for a family member. I speak up for the under-dog and the one so easily put down. Your poem touched me as something personal. Thank you.

I like how you project into your words feelings of relating to others like the homeless. I like the free verse style here that speaks to the reader. It is like looking into the poet's soul.

A beautifully constructed poem that
dances down the screen in thoughts
that come from deep within, playing
a melody of self observance, laying
your soul out bare in artistic and
graceful thoughts.
Well done

Comment from WilliamDeen
Your free verse poem, you don't know how, is very personal indeed. Your poem shows a very private side of yourself. Your poem has a very nice and easy cadence. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from uniqueauthor
It's called the other me. This is well written, and I was married to a man for nine years, who had a superiority complex, and with it he covered up a very low self esteem. So yes, I do know.

Thanks for a good review. I hope I don't have a superiority complex!
Comment from Herb
hmmm, A poem that takes everything we may take for granted about a person, then flips it round, cleverly. Says a lot about the human condition, makes me wonder if anyone out there wears his true face all the time?? Or ever.
That's good reflective and thought provoking verse.

This is written very well and says so much....the kind of stuff we need to hear. We are to quick to judge and that does need to stop. No one knows what anyone is going through! Thank you for sharing this!
