Full Version: I Am
David Cook > David Fans > Songwriter's Corner
Cara
I am happy on the outside, but crying inside
I am strong on the outside, but broken inside
I am never enough, always second best
I am alone and cold, always told what to do
I am never pretty enough, just a soul in this world
I am hurt inside, waiting to explode
I struggle with who I am and who I'm supposed to be
I feel left behind, never included
I feel as if I don't exist, just a waste of space
I am a burden to everyone in my presence
I am never enough, not even for myself

Just an opinion but im gonna put it straight.
Is this a song or a poem?
Either way part of your lines don't make sense.
eg. I am alone and cold, always told what to do

If you're alone, who's telling you what to do?

Anyways nice depression theme.

No sharkie it's so deep and touching and I MUST SAY amazingly written, if u try n understand it it's very simple
Like u said: "i am alone and cold, always told what to do"
Does it really mean tht she's living alone mayb she has a lot of ppl around her but they dun understand her and she's alone in tht sense tht she can never do wht she wants to everyone is bugging her to do this and tht.
Hope u'll understand sharkie smile.gif
Btw cara really nice, even if u consider it a poem, poets always have their way of writing known as diction and u really wrote it NICELY smile.gif
Luv ya

HI,
I SEE BOTH SHARKIE'S AND ZARA'S POINTS. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE BROKEN AND STRUCTURED
INTO A PRETTY GOOD SONG. BUT IT IS WRITTEN MORE IN THE CONTEXT OF A POEM. DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH IT'S STILL A GOOD PIECE OF WRITING.

I like how it's written if you maybe added a bit more to it you could make it in to a song but otherwise as a poem it's gud to. Deffinatly (can't spell that word sorry!! tongue.gif ) have a way with words. Keep writing tongue.gif

YEA rawk on!
At last someone gets to see my point but other wise you have a great way with words

I agree with you that it seems to be written like a poem instead of being a song...it has a definite depression feel about it.
