I am not who I am

This hair

These eyes

lips

and nose

This figure

These toes

Is not who I am

We all have

fingernails and

eyelashes

But its what's underneath

My hopes and dreams

Our fears and flaws

That make us who we are

Those wishes we keep wishing

I wish you could really see me

No

I wish you could see

Beyond what you see

And realize your vision decieves

And I am more than what I appear to be

There is more to me than me.
