Who Am I?

You ask who I am

And believe me I wish I knew

The journey to find who I really am was quite a task

Maybe I’m just someone else in disguise

Who uses a mask to hide their true identity?

I try and try to find myself

But who is the “real me”

I can’t control the confused thoughts in my head

And it pains me being unable to see myself

What drives me?

What gives me life?

Everyone is told their special and unique

But what is my life purpose?

That may never be uncovered, but I still seek an answer

I wish I was creative like Pablo Picasso,

Or, Confident like Marilyn Monroe

Though that’s not me

I’m insecure of my flaws

And, generally always an emotional wreck

I dream to speak out of how I truly feel

But, today’s critics hold me back with their death grip full of disapproval

Why must they bring me down?

What have I done to deserve to feel so alone?

Where is the friendly face that tells me to stay strong?

I yearn to be off in a distant place where no one can bother me

With all of their disturbing conforming thoughts

But my conscience always drags me back to do my daily tasks

Off I go now back onto the never ending ride they call life

I do what I must to make it through

Though times are not always what we imagine

I will continue to impact the world with my foolish choices

Hopefully others will join the movement and the world may become a better place

Never will I allow doubt to fill my head

For every step I take is another step towards a better world

I am unique.
