You knew the truth

Getting you to understand was never an easy task to take on...
You really forced me to dig inside of something I thought was already fixed,
but it never was.
For many years I tapped together the pain, the sorrow, the loneliness, and the anger and tried to lock it away.
But you made me face the ugly truth; that I was still not okay.
You asked me... "How can I understand you when you don't even understand yourself?"
You were right... I couldn't keep fooling people with the lies I'd tell them so they would think I was someone else, but in reality I'm not that person that I portrayed and so...
I don't know who I am; I do not understand myself.
I was trying to get you to understand a story that I had written and directed in my demented brain, but before I could read you the script of lies you already knew the truth...

Old man wisdom."Can't change people. If you love someone. Take the bad with the good. All of us carry bad memory and fear. Hard to tell someone. You are okay. The lessons of life had led you to a place." I understand the poem.
"I don't know who I am; I do not understand myself."
Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
