I am my own person,
not a girl from a fairytale.
I can't be molded and shaped,
I'm not a "perfect" piece for sale.
I'm battered and broken,
from being crushed too many times.
Although my record is not clean,
I have committed many crimes.
I have broken hearts and made one too many tears fall.
I've crushed so many hopes and dreams,
and the ones left alive; so weak they barely crawl.

Interesting work. However your line:

Quote:
Although my record is not clean,
I have committed many crimes.


doesn't really make sense. If you dropped the "although" it would be much better. I find it interesting that you point out flaws in this poem about yourself, and find it kind of refreshing. As I previously stated, very interesting piece. Keep up the great work!
