Analysis of My Secret Self

Kait L 2007 (Arkansas)



My Secret Self
I am something, not someone,
I am multiple, not just one,
One personality so I seem,
There’s more to me than what you see,

I hide a deep and loving soul,
For what you see is somewhat old,
There’s a secret me, no one can know,
It’s something I hide, just like gold,

A closed book, with lock and key,
Only one who’s trustworthy can open me,
I have more than one page,
A story with no age,

Plain and simple,
A never ending circle,
I just don’t fit,
A regular script,

An influence I don’t know,
Get’s hold of me, no,
I blend into the background,
Unnoticed and unfound

About this poem

This poem was written by me a couple of years ago. It was written based on how I felt at that time. Some of it is no longer accurate to describe me, but some is. Hope you like it.

I’m a 16 year old in high school. I don’t have a tone of money, and I’m not great with poetry, but I am an aspiring author and I’ve written a few poems. I saw this ad and thought, why not? more…
