Who Am I Really?

Trying to find yourself inst easy.

I look straight ahead,
And fear what I'm about to see,
A mirror that reflects,
A Perfect image of me,

This girl that I'm staring at,
Isn't who I use to be,
She's scared, she's lonely,
She's crying desperately,

She has lied to herself so many times,
She doesn't know whats real or fake,
She wants to start all over,
But I'm scared its to much for her to take,

Things have been wrong,
Ever since I decided to leave,
What ever happened to the funny girl,
Who always had tricks up her sleeve,

I remember the jokes,
The laughter and the game,
I guess when I fell asleep one night,
I didn't realize I was never going to be the same,

Love has been hard,
But its that way for her too,
Is this how our connection works,
Is this what I'm suppose to do,

Who am I,
I've been asked that question before,
I never had an answer,
The topic is still sore,

Sure I know what I am,
And sure I know my name,
But that's not who I really am,
It isn't the same thing,

Some people joke and say lighten up,
Do they know who they are,
Can they tell me they've felt the same,
That they've gone searching this far,

Nobody knows the trouble I'm going through,
They don't know the lies I've told,
This must be who I really am,
But it it good enough for the behold.

At first I didn't think the rhyme scheme was all that great, and I definately think it began to become redundant towards the end, but it wasn't so bad in the middle! I love the ideas within this, everyone is truly searching for whom they truly wish to be, and this just reflects that.

This. is. amazing. I'm madly in love with the first stanza. Ive felt like this before and Im still asking myself the question. Who amI? Maybe nobody knows, and maybe only few people acually wonder. Very nice and it flowed so beautifully. your talented cant wait to read more [:
