Memories Aren’t Left behind

 

When you die,

People remember you.

But do they remember the you they knew

Or the you that actually existed?

Do they remember you for what they saw?

Or remember you for what you experienced?

When you die

A part of you dies with you

No one will truly know about you

As much as you,

Because no one was there to see

The life you lived.

They only saw the life you wanted them to see

Now your life is gone

And no one knows who you really were

The memory you left behind

Is nothing but what you showed people

When you die

You are the only one who knew you.

 

 

 

There you have it. Any feedback?

I don't think there's enough rhyme... but that's just be

Least said, and don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't think it was that good (Partly because of the lack of rhyme)

 

However, on the plus side, the poetry I write seems worse than this and I always get top marks for it, I'm no expert, but, it probably is actualy very good ^_^

Didn't you know, a lot of good poems don't rhyme.

 

In fact, I think most poems that DO are kinda... meh.

 

I prefer the ones that don't rhyme, AKA< free-verse poems.

I guess you maybe right...

 

I suppose it's because all the poems we study at school seem to rhyme.... Perhaps my opinion is because I'm under the influence of the school curiculum....

Could be, most poems I read in school rhyme.

 

But that's not to say all poems that have rhyme are bad, and all that don't are good.
