Identity


It isn't who I am,

- it's who I hide away.

 

The broken memories of past loves,

old, meaningless, hobbies.

 

Who I am is

who you'll never bother or care to see.

 

No one has ever seen

the real 'me' - 

because maybe there is no 'me'.

Hey, I'm seventeen, and many of those years have been spent devouring Italian mint chocolate chip ice-cream. I love Italian mint chocolate-chip ice-cream. You should really know that: that I LOVE ITALIAN MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE-CREAM (okay, I think you get the picture now, huh?).
