Hello there
My name is...
..........................
You dont really care what my name is huh

I know you dont really care about anyone but yourself
You just want to say how good I am
And why?
So you can fuel your masochistic sense of pleasure

When the fact is people like you make me do the same
What good are the words of praise if someone doesnt believe you
Generic comments are kindness to mask the real thoughts
Despisal for my ability
Or contempt for the work

And then there is the narsisism for the other motive
Seeing something or someone so you can be polite
Only to have thoughts of how much better you are

So as I was saying my name is......
....................................
As I was trying to tell you my name......
Why do you want to talk about that?

No you dont really wish to know me
You just want something to despise or worship
What good is being anything else in a mind
If your not hated or loved then its as if you dont exist

All you see are a fat tall man
You are in awe how you have to look up at me
Mock the fact that I wear a shirt you could wear as a dress

Well my name again is....
Yeah yeah you want to know about the scar
Find out whether to laugh at me for stupidy
Or to give me sympathy for something horrible injustice

But you still dont care about my name
Suppose you rather hear about how dull my life was
Or how fascinating then figure out how to pick it appart
Then draw out how you can impress me

Shut up
I dont care what you want to know
How about just a little silence
Then you can find out all about me
Not just the stuff you think you need to know

My name is.......
Oh why bother
Its obvious your not even listening

Well, I suppose I'm one to leave generic comments As some have said in previous comments. It's hard to put into words but you do make a good point in this poem sweetie.

You've conveyed a lot here...the fact that sometimes, people don't wish to know your name, just the things you don't want to say. That a lot of people who ask "How are you?" don't usually stop to hear an answer, just keep going. ~*Beth*~

this is a great write, heartfelt and honest .. i fail to see what it has to do about comments people leave though =\

i think this goes a lot deeper than that .. about what people see on the outside and not what they see on the inside .. about people putting down others to boost themselves up, ego-wise ..

I am genuinely interested when I write comments...even to the point if I do not understand the intent,I'll convey my perception of it...Always good to know things about people so you can black-mail them later;)(Not to feel superior, but to control them)

This made me think about the comments I've left. Alot of the time when I see a peice that I like its hard to put into words why I like it, or even pretend I know what the authour is trying to convey. I've read quite a few works that I really liked but nev

..never had the words to express why or what I liked about it. I think a generic comment like "nice write" may be impersonal but at least lets the author know their peice was apreciated by someone.

this is perfect...... as if... beauty was found in the eye of 'said' beholder... which happens to be ...a manifested hybrid of the 'Angry Old Testament God' ...forced to fraternize with the image of a 'Symmetrical Goddess'..... i love it....
