Behind the Curtain Who Am I

<<...Behind The Curtain...>>
                Who Am I
        A question I find myself asking alot
Am I the little girl that my Father wants me to be.
            Daddy's Little Girl
        So sweet and innocent
            But is that me
Am I the young lady my Mother wants me to be.
            Mama's Young Lady
        Intelligent and classy
            But is that me.
Am I the life of the party my Friends want me to be
            A People's Pleaser
        Drinking and Smoking
            But is that me.
            Who Am I
    A question I find myself asking alot
I hide behind the allusion that people cast upon me.
        Not wanting to disappoint my Father
    I put on a mask of sweet and innocentness
            Being Daddy's Little Girl
        Not wanting to foil my Mother
    I hide behind the curtain of intelligence and classiness
            Being Mama's Young Lady
        Not wanting to Relinquish my Friends
    I disguise myself into someone I am not
            Being the People's Pleaser
            But Who Am I
        I am Beautiful and Elegant
        I am Vigorous and Fierce
        I am Bold and Passionate
        I am Alluring and Beguiling
        
        I am Shy and Ambivalent
        I am Turbulent and Fractious
        I am Difficult and Demanding

        I am Ambitious and Steadfast
        I am Eccentric And Peculiar
        I am Amusing and Playful
        I am Clever and Jocular
I am my Daddy's Daughter, but not his Little Girl
I am my Mother's Child, but not her Young Lady
I am the Life of the Party, but not a People's Pleaser
        That is the True Me.
But because of my Insecurities and the feeling of depressing the ones's that I love
        I hide behind the Curtian asking the question
            Who Am I
    Am I my Daddy's Little girl
        So Sweet and Innocent
    Am I my Mama's Young Lady
        Intelligent and Classy
    Am I the People's Pleaser
        Smoking And drinking
            Is That Me.
