not a poem as such. About life and how you think.

who are you meant to be?

and why do strangers care?

Why  should we worry about our looks?

and how people expect us to act?

 

Do they really know who we are?

or what we've been through in our lives?

Do they live up to expectations?

or just simply criticize our actions?

 

Do you look at people in disgust?

Do you judge people as they walk past?

Do you want to be remembered by strangers?

or do you want to be remembered by those who matter?

 

Would you help those in need?

or Would you simply walk away?

Would you want someone to help you?

or rather be left alone?

Agreed! I agree with this poem and I understand it as well. I think this poem basically describes people who criticize others and it hurts people but they don't care. Then we run into the people who care about us and we are all better about ourselves.
Thank you!
