Who Am I...

Am I the sum of all my experiences and events?
The friends I have made or the realisation of all my goals,
Childhood aspiations... Astronaut, rock star, footballer.
Varied, bright and innocent, random and obscure,
Each hope a precious moment to be faded or dashed.
Cynical rain washes in, expectations of others a burden,
How they see me, how they judge me. My life is on show.
What do they really see? What do they really think?
Do they see what I think they see? Do they know the real me?
Anxiety pulses like a living beast within me. Will it turn me?
A creature of someone elses making, of their desires.
Not mine... Not me... Nothing...

Spread the love... The peace will follow...
