All About Me, According to You

I’ve noticed

That everywhere I go

There’s a girl that follows me.

People often mistake her for me;

We could be twins!


Other than that

I can’t figure out why people think she’s me.

She cries for pity

She lies as an easy alternative

Nepotism is on her side

Skepticism is her very own guide

I’ve even heard she lives in a mansion!

She seeks attention

And did I forget to mention,

She’s an easy catch

If you know how to snatch her?

She’s absolutely crazy

She’s definitely lazy

She hasn’t worked a day in her life!


I’ve seen her around school

I’ve seen her act a fool

When she’s at her house

She’s quieter than a mouse  


But she’s not me, and I’m not her

People see what they want,

What they think they know for sure.

I wrote this poem based on different things that I've heard people say about me, or on what people have told me they thought about me
