This is Irony
I try to be a person,
A man in a world of man,
And when that fails,
I try to be myself,
How Ironical,
That people misunderstand,
They interpret my true being,
For something totally else,
When people see me for who I’m not,
It makes me feel like I’m Not.
Style / type:
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
Last few words:
I like my poems to be understood by all people, not necessarily the ones who know how to break down a Shakespeare to the minute details. Have I accomplished it here?

Welcome to the website!
nice piece...
not too sure about the last line. that second 'not'
seems like your piece will be well understood by most folk.
