Paper 2: Story of Holden
Nothing seems to make sense in this life.
No matter where I go I'm surrounded by phonies and fakes.
My old school,
The places I visit,
I'm hidden from the eyes of scrutiny deception.
I feel so out of place.
People always judge me for things,
Things that they should look at themselves for.
Who are they to judge me?
What's given them that right?
Nothing, that's right, nothing.
Pointless little lies
Designed just for my down-bringing.
Everyone's against me for everything.
Even my family.
I can't even trust them.
I need some inspiration,
But then again,
What's the point?
I'm just going to be around stupid fakes my whole life.
Even around my own family I feel like an outcast.
I don’t know what to do.
Then again,
Still, nothing makes sense in life.
No matter where I go I'm surrounded by phonies and fakes.
My old school,
The places I visit.
I'm never hidden from the eyes of scrutiny and deception.

this is a really good poem and i think that it sums of holden's character very well. He has little hope in life and is very hypcritical, just like how you described in your poem
Wow, awesome poem. It really sounded like Holden, and kept an elegant touch that poems have. You seemed to sum up all of his feelings very well, and had a good flow to it.
Nice poem. It related to Holden's life well with all the negativity and stuff. I like the way you said that he thought he had no hope in his life even if he tried to change.
Your poem is like Holdens life, like that's how i would think it was. Or well something like that and also how you kind of show how hes a hypocrite because he is the very one who judges people but he doesn't want them to judge him. You worked with all of his emotions and feelings really good in this poem.
I liked all the hiddne meaning in this poem and how you kept reiterrating deception. Awesome!
