I wanted to write a poem that didn't rhyme, but for some reason that's really hard for me. I feel like I can't make it flow, which I focused on greatly in this poem. It's more like a rap then a poem, because its what I usually listen to. I would have wrote more, but I didn't want to drag it on with unimportant lines that just repeated the meaning, which was basically someone who wanted more out of life. I just wrote an essay on Fahrenheit 451, where someone is trying to find his identity, so this poem basically built off of that. I feel the poem does a great job of getting the point across, and flows very nicely and efficiently.
Is this all?
Is my life just fame and basketball?
I need an identity
I’m tired of serenity
No, war ain’t on my mind
It’s too easy to find
I don’t want to fight
But there must be something out there, right?
I mean, it’s now or never
I don’t gotta be clever
To know I won’t live forever
I imagine what more there could be
Its gotta work out, perfectly
No matter how long I try for
I’m going to find something more
This world may be unjust and unfair
But it’s in here, somewhere
Some might say I got it all
But life is more than just fame and basketball

Out of all your posts, this is my favorite one. I think keeping it short was good because it really emphasizes the meaning, like you said.
