Am I Somebody or Myself
January 20, 2015
Heroes fall,
Cowards prevail.
My kingdom crashes,
Dust blooming around me.
My world moves,
Changing who I am
Telling me to be someone I’m not
But why all this?
Why must I do this just to feel like I’m someone?
To not feel like I’m nobody,
Like I’m somebody?
This can’t all work,
I can’t just change how I dress,
What music I listen to,
How I talk
Who I hang out with.
I can’t change that
But do I need to just feel like
I don’t know,
Myself?
