Look, This Is Me

Look, this is me I`m alive inside myself Deep beneath my layers That shift to guard my mental health I`m living on a stage I change to match the role I play Hiding behind masks Forced upon me day by day My faces are shifting Alter-egos I create At the core I`m hiding Trying to manipulate Living in a strange world Where I would not survive. Of deceptions I create Many new faces derive But look, this is me Unveiled, as seen by very few I manifest in poetry To be seen and judged by all of you Parted from my vessel That ties me down to earth Showing only that Wich I had before my birth Pure thoughts, uncensored Written down by me, the soul Breaking free from earthly binding To show myself. That is my goal Poetry`s a stage to me Not scripted and not arranged Dropping mask and veil and shield Look, this is me, raw, unchanged
