Better then Me

Contributed by Rachel on Wednesday, 19th February 2003 @ 01:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



I smile, you pass me by
And when you're gone I wish you would die
Because I know you're better then me
And you know you're everything I wanna be
That's life
'Cause I loose 10 pounds
You loose 20 more
I go through the window
And you use the front door
I can't handle this
Take away your expensive makeup
And your Designer jeans
Faceit
You're still much more then I could ever be
Because I'll never measure up
To an imaginary me

An interesting look at the expectations we place upon ourselves. Your direct statements make this poem easy to understand and with the unsuspected final line comparing and showing the two to be yourself, I found this poem quite enjoyable.

Nice write.

Brings to mind,anorexia nervosa and all the pressures that young women are subjected to.
Those glossy magazines,full of 'stars' are pure fantasy.Take away the airbrushing,the perfect makeup and they look ordinary.They're just like everyone else,first thing in the morning.Just be you.
Well done,

Den
