Hollow, empty Devoid of emotion Unsure as to who I am No cure, no potion
Mimic the cries Of our endless lies Hoping to fit in, To belong, feel security within
But it scares me, As I'm sure you can see
I want to be myself All I need is help To bring out who I really am And hope that, socially, this isn't my end
I feel so lost, So totally unlike what Everyone expects of me And what I expect of myself, the whole lot
I look inside myself And all I see is utter blackness Not because I am a demon, But my actions have caused darkness
I didn't believe in myself I wanted to be someone else Everything I ever did Was based off of not being the "weird kid"
The one with the buck-teeth, That "Aspy", abnormal boy I wanted to be part of a group Not a bullies favourite toy
But I also wanted to do what I like, Talk of dinosaurs, aerodynamics and castles Not to be just another Fashion, gaming and acting apostle
Guess that didn't work out so well, now did it? Because I don't know which parts of me Are the real me, not the "fitting" in me That is something I cannot see clearly
I just want to be myself Not a creation moulded by society But I don't exactly have a choice now, do I? I must face the humility.
For the record, this isn't one of those poems that poets write about someone else. This is about me
