I was Jane

I was Jane

A Poem by Jane Lockheart
"

A girls life. (not me)

"

I was Jane

 

Every day I put on an act

Not allowed to have ideas

Feelings the other people don't have

If I don't follow

I have no one

Old friends don't recognize me

I am not the Jane they used to know

 

A robot that changes faces

Match emotions they program me to

The sad part is...

I let them do this

I'm depressed

I don't know why I'm doing this

Letting people inside me

I have to stop...

Opinion has abandon me

I am afraid...

It's too late

Like I'm in a cult

There is absolutely no way out

I am a robot

Can I be brave?

My friends are right

I was Jane

Hmm, its very...Eye catching.
I don't know why but the typeface makes it even more appealing :)

Sorry if that's to odd

Thought provoking piece you have written here. Like a person being peer pressured to doing what they don't want, but having no confidence to stop it. (it reads that way to me. I could be way off here) But I could still get the frightened feelings throughout which you expressed. Great wording and I liked the way you flowed them down the page. :)

That was really good. I really liked it. I've known girls like that and the way you put it into this poem just really nails it on the head. Well done!

A poem that can mean so many diferent things to different people. We can loose our identity in so many ways and feel that there is no way out. It takes a lot of courage, fatih and support sometimes to break free and return to being who you are meant to be.
Welll written.

This is a very good expression about the mistake of allowing people to dictate who we are... I love it, your simplistic way of getting your poem accross and your rhythmatic way of putting it all together makes for an enjoyable read... All I can say at this point is AMEN Sister AMEN.
