Who I Am


Who I am,

I am someone who is not who they appear to be,

Secrets, are what make up who I am, 

A past that haunts, however does not prevail over who I want to be,

I am who I am, 

But I am not who I want to be,

I will get there one day, 

and I will be who I want to be, 

the only one that i could make me happy.
