How fantastic this poem is! I fear not of tomorrow...only loss...loss of self...it is exactly as I myself would imagine it, only in your clever words. Self-clarity is such a hard thing to come by in a world where the long arm of the media creates out of all of us, clones of an ideal that can never be reached and allow us to maintain happiness as well. I wish you good luck in keeping that sense of self, as I myself struggle with it daily. Remember, Emerson once said that 'imitation is suicide.' Imitation is suicide of the self, for when you set out to be something other than what you are, you kill a bit of yourself. Stay true, and keep writing.
The fear of scaring away Who I am inside Is what makes me So afraid I hide ............not now when you have knocked the right doors...... your inner self shall bloom.....with the love of us all here at Poem Hunter my lovely Poetess!
Great poem, Agnes. Be Strong, and stay true to yourself. As my friend Coya sez: 'Jus Keep on Keepin on! ' be strong, and you'll still be the person you are today Namaste- Lexi
