You, Are Anything, Everything, Never Nothing.

In [REDACTED]

He stares at me,
eyes forlorn.
He asks me who he is-
does he really not know?
He tells me he's popular,
and through that mist,
he can't figure out,
just who he is.
So I tell him.
You,
are the artist,
worker,
thinker,
wonderer,
inventor,
dreamer,
but,most of all,
who you want to be.

I really like this poem because it was short, simple and very inspiring. I like the beginning, and the last line was very touching. I liked how you listed all the things that he could be if he wanted (or is). I found it really nice and I think more poems should be written like this.

Hey there! Your poem was amazing, really. Although it was small and simple it was very fulfilling. At times, I think you were very keen on using a hyperbol that kind of made the poem a drag. Like for the part where you mentioned that he is a worker, thinker, inventor et cetra et cetra, it kind of got tiring scrolling down just to find one word.
So you might want to work on that. Other than that, well done! :D

Keep rhyming!

Wow, quite a nice sweet little poem. Nice and small, because of its size and simplicity I can't really say much. The grammar seems sound and so is the flow of the poem. I like that shape of it, although I feel like there is no reason for a fancy shape. Although it is short I don't think you should add more, its good as it is.
Because it's quite simple it doesn't have the complex techniques, although maybe a more defined rhythm or something like alteration could have added something extra but honestly it's not needed.

This is fantastic!
