I Wonder

by Jackie - Capricorn

I lay silently under the stars,
In the cool summer grass,
And wonder what my life would be like,
If I were someone else.
Would I be pretty?
Would I be popular?
Would I have the same friends?
Even if I did change on the outside,
I wonder if I'd change at all on the inside.
Would I have the same feelings?
...the same fears?
What is going on inside me?
Why am I so unhappy,
That I wonder about a life,
Not of my own?
The night creeps on quickly,
And I go inside.
Only to return to my spot under the stars,
The next warm summer night,
...and wonder.

Reason for writing:

    I would really like some feedback on this.  I just recently discovered that I like poetry and I'm just experimenting on writing my own.  If you like it, please tell me!  Thanks!!
