Who am I?
Who am I?
I'm having an identity crisis
At a crossroad in my life
I have failed to discover my personal identity
And it haunts me everytime I am asked
"Who are you"
Well, "I'm different" I say
But that is cliche
Because we are all unique
I am unconventional
My character fails to live up to common standards
Because I am far removed from the rest
On the surface I do not stand out
But my thoughts reveal otherwise
They scream desperately to escape my brain
To make their debut on paper
I am an old soul
I walk to the beat of Dean Martin
And wish to go back to a time of petticoats and poodle skirts
My mental age far surpassed my physical being
This stark contrast is quite evident
But I conceal it from the rest
Hiding my true soul; locked within me as my very own secret
So I beg the question
Is my heart really wise, over contemplating before I act?
Or am I simply a coward afraid to reveal my true identity?
This is the great paradox of my life:
I am both sagacious and afraid
I must merit that my mind thinks differently
Though I must break free from the mental web I have weaved
Trapped within the confines of my own head
I am more than mere words that describe my pastimes
This superficial explanation will never demonstrate
How you will come to know me
But how can others comes to know me
If I don't even know myself
I'm having an identity crisis
Who am I?
