Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Man Suit?

Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Man Suit?

A Poem by Akira Kodama

So many hide themselves
To "keep up appearances"
Or to be "proper"
Why pretend when you don't have to?
If you don't put on enough makeup, will you be killed?
If you don't lose enough weight, will you lose yourself?
I find the ones who focus on their appearances the most
To be the most repulsive.

© 2013 Akira Kodama


Author's Note

Akira Kodama
I find my poetry to be lacking a certain....well, "poetic" feel, but really structure does not matter to me anymore. I get my point across, and my thoughts/emotions are transferred accurately.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the art of human expression. If its not "traditionally" poetic that doesn't matter. I encourage the process of writing because it is all about creativity.

there is something about expressing yourself plainly, honestly, it isn't that it is not poetic, it is just really real

kudos to getting your point across and articulated accurately
