The Frame
November 21, 2010
He hands me
an Image.
“this is what you are,”
He says
with such pride
that i want,
dearly,
to be that Image.
but as i squeeze into
the Frame
i realize,
i don’t fit.
i give him the Frame
“fits like a glove!”
He smiles with
a rare joy
a spot of white light
in a cavern
and i am filled with a guilty
pleasure
the Frame didn’t fit
and He may never know.

i like the way this is written a lot. you know how to stay true to yourself, and your right, you don't have to fit into that "frame" your father may have given you, because at the end of the day you're the one staring back at yourself in the mirror. good work, maybe you'll check out my page??:)

I love this poem because it's about something that I feel strongly about. You should be who you are, not who someone else wants you to be.

Me too! I didn't know what to expect but this is a really amazing poem! I absoluetly love how you compared the relationship with your dad with saying you fit in the frame even though you didn't! This is TeenInk Magazine worthy!
