Who am i

by Daniel   Dec 17, 2007


Who am I really,
Have I ever really known?
Am I who I say I am,
Or am I just what I have been shown?
Am I the guy I wish I would be
Or am I everything I only think I can be?
Does my personality hide behind my lies,
Or do my lies hide all my inner cries?
Of who I know I can be
And all my inner traits
How do I find this inner me
Is it through faith?
All my life
I have made up who I am
Now its time for a change
Without asking for a helping hand
Can I do this,
Can I find the true me?
Or am I lost behind my tear driven face
With eyes dry as can be?
Do we all wear masks to hide who we are,
Assimilating to those around us
Leaving our personalities as a scar.
Still visable and some still bright
But over looked as if out of sight.
Does anyone know who they really are
If they take away their greed for money or fame?
Isnt that what they teach us to strive for
So are we to blame?
I have to find the real me
Its about time
25 years of hiding, I need to let my soul shine
When I do this, will my life stay the same?
Will the world around me not notice
Will life still be a game?
Will the man in the mirror
One day become my friend
Or will I hate his reflection
Until the endâ?¦
