Who Am I

                                                             I have two sides I am two people

                              The person you know is very different to who I am on the inside

              People see me and think I am outgoing, loud, and don't care what people think

             However, it's quite the opposite                     I'm really quiet, shy, and extremley diffident

                                                                                 I guess we all have two sides of us

                                                                                 I think we portray who we want to be

                                                                        Or it's a defense mechanism that kick starts

                                                                        to hide our consciousness and fear

                                                                   The fear of people making fun,

                                                                of getting too close

                                                               But we can't hide forever

                                                              In order to live peacfully

                                                           and be truly happy, We have

                                                            to except who we are

 

 

                                                                     Who

                                                             we really are

                                                     There comes a day when 

                                                   we have to gather courage,

                                                       Look in the mirror,

                                                       and ask ourselves

                                                          Who Am I?

My poem not only shows the two different sides of me, but my belief on why most people hide their true selves.
