Who Are You?

Self exploration

 

 

 

Who Are You?

 

 

Complex transparency

                 Hiding in plain view

                                Silent restraint

   Unbeknownst to the world

            Wasted occupant of space

                                   The suit does not fit

             The smile is not real

                                  Wake up sleepy head

                     Stop dreaming

Reality is painted

         With tears

                  Fear is your reaper

                           Holding you captive

                                   Who do you think you are

                          Walking dead?

        Life is not over

                 If you knew how to start it

Do you know where you are?

                                   Who you are?

       Or does the world make that decision for you?

                   Each frame can be altered

                                     Dissected and re-arranged

      It can be painted any color

                         You are the animator

       You direct the source

                         It's push and pull

               Of tug of war

Can be won

         If you so choose to accept the challenge

                               So I ask again

 

             Who are you?

Very cool. Rather insperational. Lot's of people loose touch with themselves as the progress through life. Its rare to find someone who has an opinion that they stand up for because THEY believe in it. Amazing pen Christian. Loved the visuals you created with your words! :)

[Chris Micha]

Wow...thank you so much, Chelsea. I am so honored to hear you say that! :)

[Konigin]

This sounds like the voice in my head. Same questions. Only you've put them into better words.

I really liked how you arranged the poem.

Um, kind of messed with my head. Honestly.

I don't know, but this was good.

Well done.

As I am reading this I am thinking of Myself and the people around me who often struggle with identity crisis. One pastor once said if people just knew who they were life would make sense to them and they would be at peace with those around them. Then he went on to tell a joke. When people are asked who are you they often respond with I don't know ask my pastor. Everyone laughed. Although in truth it is really not funny. Good write! I like the form of the poem!

You have such a way with words.. truly inspiring, and motivational indeed. We are the creators of ourselves, yet it is so easy to get caught up in 'existence' that we often forget to 'live', and thus lose our identity. Really enjoyed this one, thanks.. :)
