Is it The Real me or The One People Want to See


I take a look around

Where am I to be found?

No I am not perfect

And that’s not a secret.

Can you see the real me?

The one who is shy

The one full of fears

Do not be fooled by what you see

For I may deceive you my friend

Behind this face there is a young girl who is full of dreams and hopes

A girl who will do whatever it takes to obtain her desires and feed her ambition

I am fearless, I am bold

What has shaped me into this person you wonder?

It is nothing less than but the struggle of my mother in this world

A woman who was left to raise a child of her own
