I Lost Myself MAG

By Anonymous

Somewhere inbetween acting and acting like I thought I should,
I lostmyself.
Pinned down under friends' interpretations,
And parents' emptyhopes,
I lost myself.
The inner core that at one time was"me"
Became hidden under borrowed traits and,
I lost myself.
Icaught their personalities like a disease,
Too quick to act, it spreadand
I lost myself.
I blame them half-heartedly knowing very well,
Theymight have accepted who I was,
If only I had too.

Thsi is really good! I liked it, but I think that next time you write, you need to do a once over before you submit. It seems as though you tried to hurry through and didn't re-read it. There are a lot of words that you wrote, but you forgot the spaces. It's really good though!
