    The first three stanzas about wherever the narrator was before the new school get totally lost by the end of the poem. The idea of the three stanzas is fine, but they are not particularly memorable.
    You do not need to say "quote from..." because people say that line all of the time - no one should really accuse you of lifting it.
    The introduction of "you" versus the narrator in the second to last stanza is out of place, and really has nothing to do with the rest of the poem. If the point is to pin the blame of the narrator's personality on another person outside of the poem, then the idea of "you" should be strung throughout.
    And the last stanza is just completely pointless.

    I like the line spacings/organization. That kind of thing is really unique around here, so bravo. Also, the outer self versus inner self is well presented, and the outsider versus insider theme is evident.
    You are clearly a decent writer, so congrats on that.

    A very honest and poetic account of something I have also suffered from. I feel similar to you in that I know what you mean about wearing a mask, pretending to be someone I'm not. X

    just as good as the last one. i totally know what you mean by putting on a mask and not letting people see the selfishness that resides inside us all. i find that writing poems about it is a good release. you're an awesome writer, and probably an awesome person. keep up the good work and, every once in a while, be your true self with someone. you never know what might happen
