Class Read & Annotation: Read the following poem and annotate for details that signal the ideas, actions and
people that define this poets identity.
Look at me,
it's not my true identity
I have a covert identity,
I wonder if you'd ever see,
my thoughts, my deeds
are all that makes me
but something I may do
may not describe me.
My true identity
has fled me,
fled me to another
to my friends and family.
My true identity
is all that makes me.
So lost deep inside
if its not for my soul
I would be lost again.
My true identity
is hard to see.
Accept who you are.
Recognize your own beauty.
Identity isn't a need.
Your identity should be your own,
a better person you will be known.
This is me, this is my identity.
My true identity is all full of beauty.
