WHO AM I?

Deep inside lies the true person that we are
On top of that person is put who people tell us we are
On top of that is who we think we are
What I find to win sometimes is who people say we are
Especially when it is negative
They pound it into your soul
They say it in a believable manner
Until it just screams at you
That is how you begin to think
Before long that is how you act
That is how you let people treat you
You become smothered under the weight
Do you need to let it forever take your breath away?
NO, I say, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!
It is hard to push that garbage up and out
But it really can be done!!
But until then the person you really are is buried
This causes you to have a hard time finding it
Others might see that person peeking out
But you will not even recognize it if it stared you in the face
Who is that stranger people talk about, you might say
It is a person you do not believe exists
But your eyes are so tinted that realness does not show up
You believe the person you THINK you are is real
You think that because of misinformation
The information screamed at you is loud but incorrect
How to change that incorrect person you see
Replace it with the person others are saying they see
Let those words scream in your brain
Let those right things be so loud the wrong begins to leave
It would be great to happen over night
But the trueness of the whole thing is it takes time
But it is time well spent, to uncover the real person
The real person will probably be someone you will like
Give it a shot, what can it hurt
Start digging to find the real person that lies within
See who you are really meant to be
Oh person deep within come out, come out however deep
Keep pushing until the light you see
There really is sunlight for your weary eyes
See you soon the real me deep within.
