ch 1,

I'm glad I can smile, because this poem brought a smile and a knowing wink to my face. I've felt the same occasionally, and I actually have a poem in the works that's about not a wax museum but a glass prison, that deals with a somewhat similar issue of being different and not being "real" according to what society believes (which is why he's imprisoned in the glass). But back to your poem, I found the word choice very good, especially the last line "why, if only I could smile." This is one of my favorite poems. The only think I would change is in the 2nd line "they peek at me". I don't know if "peek" is the best word there, but it's not a bad word either. I just don't think people would peek if you're in a museum. I am curious as to what isn't "real" about you though that people find you a fake.

And one final though, I enjoyed your bio...sarcasm and wisdom rolled into one for a blatant excuse for a lack of information. It's pretty informative.
