Inside of Me

inside of me 
there's a girl you do not see
she's nice, friendly, and talented
but she'll never be me
she can "walk the walk"
and "talk the talk"
but she's not really me
trapped, and alone
she will not be freed
she's not me and never will be
trapped inside
she will hide
like an bird that can't fly 
she's trapped forever
never to be released 
by me.

Autumn, you have a lot of talent! You should spent your time honing your skills, who knows you might be the next Emily Dickinson! Your poems are technically sound, good phrasing and rhyme scheme. Keep posting. Peace young lady:)
