Excellent

I like the self-deprecating tone you have used for your poem. It's humorous.
I also like the fact that it flows well and makes the reader want to know more.
Thanks so much for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Hello Mystery Writer. This is an interesting narrative of you asking yourself if you are what others say you are. You do it lightly but those can be serious questions. Nice job. Good luck in the contest. Robert

A very well-written free verse poem to decide if the person is who he say and act like. Many people pretend to be some one special and when you start to know them better you realize who they really are.

Thank you Sandra

Comment from Coco Jane

Good

Cute look at one's own "traits."

You have several mechanical errors:
Line 4 does not need the comma after kind.
Line 9, do you mean you ARE a person...?
Line 12, do you mean such A blusher?
Line 17, do you mean such AN overachiever?

I especially like the stanza about the natural blush.

Your thought-provoking poem is just what the prompt calls for. You have looked in the mirror, into yourself, and asked self-probing questions. If we never examine our thoughts, motives, etc., how can we grow? :-)

What a challenge and you've done it writing a free verse for this competition. Here are a few I thought did not sound right:...

Oh, you are such as /an overachiever,

such as/a blusher, are you?
Best wishes in the contest,
Sylvia
