abuseThe Breakdancing Ninja gives this a 3 out of 5 for clever use of grammar.

the poem seems to be having an identity problem, seeing as how it has to keep convincing itself, in past, present and future tenses that it is itself and always will be. That generates the precise problem of WHY the poem was written. The strange use of "him" instead of "someone else" is peculiar. The poem has some kind of subconscious knowing that its writer has either been compared to someone else, passed up for someone else, and so on.

The struggle for uniqueness in writing stems from the anxiety of an individual blending into the crowd.

[Nor/ I won’t be him] *"Nor will I be him" or even a semi-colon after the line before "Nor" to keep the same "I"-scheme: [I wasn’t him/ I am not him;/I won’t be him]

the poem itself is sort of quiet. I'm glad there's no melodramatic screaming caps. It's pretty graceful in its own right.

You could drop by my story and send a little constructive abuse, too, if you want. Otherwise, this was perfectly fine.

abuseI really like this. It's so simple, but powerful. And it seems like evrybody runs around confused not knowing who they are or what they're doing here.
