Pages From A Book

I'm Not a book for you to read and put down
I'm not a Movie for you to just watch and see
I'm not one of those bootleg DVDs
I am real don't you see

My life story is not for your entertainment
My obstacles are not for your engagement
My sadness is not for your enjoyment
So why do you bother getting close to me?

I am not a puppet here for your amusement
I am not a comedian to make you laugh
I am not an insurance policy to replace your boyfriend
No I don't think we should be friends

So please put me down
don't read me anymore
just let me be
And I'll let you be too

Wow! This is so simple yet so deep. It's like life. We have experienced this with people. As we go down the road, people won't take us as we are. We are sometimes "used" for their own advantage. Why can't people realize that, like them, we want same thing from life? Unfortunately, they have unfailingly looked at us as some faces in the crowd---never to be given importance.

This is a great read.

This is one of my favorites, probably.
All your poems have such a great flow and rhythm. I like the message of this poem.
I feel like a lot of people can relate to this, including me.
Great job, as usual.

ok you are so one of my favorites. you seem to look right into the heart of something and then out it down on paper. the feelings, and emotions.

How provoking!
I love this!
Such a strong write, you're stating how you feel.
"I'm Not a book for you to read and put down
I'm not a Movie for you to just watch and see
I'm not one of those bootleg DVDs
I am real don't you see "
That's my favorite part.
Amazing write!

I enjoyed this read. If I may critic this just a tiny bit: You state "I'm not a Movie for you to just watch and see" then you state "I am real don't you see ". These two statements are conflicting to me- you aren't wanting them to see you but you do want them to see you? Also, if you keep the "I am real don't you see" I think it would benefit with a ? mark. Also, the first stanza you use "I'm" and in the third stanza "I am", I would suggest you keep them consistent with "I am" (carries more conviction and strength-personal preference of course). Overall, I really enjoyed the read. Well done! I look forward to reading more by you. Donni
