WHO ARE YOU ?
 

Are you the words,
that you copy and send?
Are you the thoughts,
you've heard from a friend?

Are you the habits,
that you do each day?
Why are you hiding,
what do you have to say?

Who are you,
very deep inside,
where is the real you,
why do you always hide?

I'd like to really know,
the you that is there,
not the words you send,
for I truly do care.

Why not write about you,
what you do, how you feel,
what you feel about life,
what do you think is real?

If you can't tell me,
who you really are,
I wonder if you know yourself,
have you takes the disguise too far?

Being open with ourself,
allows ones real self to show,
why so many can't come to grips,
I would really like to know.

Life is so short,
life can be so good,
why so many throw it away,
why is so much not understood?

Why the denial,
why do people hide,
why do people play games,
suffering so much inside?

Only you know for sure,
what and why you hide,
others haven't time to notice,
as most also suffer inside.

It is the real funny,
in life that I see,
people hiding from one another,
while so many suffer silently.
