Walk Right By

You walk right by

Look over me

Because who am I?

 

Maybe you’d know

If you looked inside

But I’m gonna go

 

You see what you want

no feelings or thoughts

Just someone to taunt

 

I have news for you

I am a girl

With something to do

 

So hey go on,

Walk right by

One day I’ll be gone

 

I’ll always be me

And you’ll always be you

But here’s what I see

 

I have a key

It’s what you lack

The magic word is…dignity.

Author's Note

Just a quick poem about my feelings towards the people who like to think they know me, and tell other people what they "know."

This poem is a little hard to follow. I don't understand what you are trying to convey to the reader. I think what you are trying to say in the poem is that people that think they know you have a tendency to talk your business to other people. The real you inside is the one no one sees, and that somehow you retain your dignity. It's just alittle confusing. You might want to try to clear it up alittle more.

great poem the flow and message stand clear maybe you should change looked to look saying the person would know if they look inside? Maybe I am wrong but that's all I see other than that very impressive

Show 'em. Screw that they don't think you're worth s**t, you be you. This writing shows grouwth from the misunderstanding phase to the self-worth phase.

Good for you, standing up for yourself. I like the simplicity of the piece, it adds to the depth and impact of your words.

Great rhyme and great rhythm. I like the subject, it's heartfelt and it's personal, so it's very passionate. The last stanza is the best!
