How do I be who you want
When I'm not who I want to be
How do I take the pressure you put on me
When I can't take the pressure I make myself
How do I ask for your help
When I don't try to help myself
How do I tell you how I feel
When I'm not even certain
The lies and slander
I speak of myself
The false images
In which I present myself
The treacherous feelings of hope and success
I so carelessly give
Who am I to write these words
Who am I to say anything
Who am I
Words, words I'm not sure I even fully understand.
Old poem.
