YOU

It's easier to be who you want to be.

When you forget who is around to see. 

But our egos and reputation 

is something we all care about

either on our everyday life or subconsciously 

Cause what they see in me , is part of the man

I command in me.

Spoken truth in words and awe. A veracity of such is righteous on this perspective. It's what speaks about you in this poem and I in a way am fumbled with words. It's the truth of where the mind wants to be humbled but such commands are too inferior for the logic must supersede over emotion. It's the depth of it.

Thank you good Sir! Have a good day. :)

There is truth in your words, Jason.. truth and raw honesty. Nice message.

'But our egos and reputations is something we all care about'. Very true words.

[Astro]

Very true thoughts here Jason, this one is a good description of what it is like in and out of the perceptions of others. Some people can't help but put on a front when surrounded by others, and it is a true measure of ones character when they can project who they truly are to those around them. These lines could use a little tweak grammatically. "is something we all care about
either on our everyday life or subconsciously" "is" should be "are" because you name 2 things "ego and reputation" and "either on" should be "either 'in' our everyday life..."

Editing aside, good stuff.

I think we all wear different masks. The kind of mask depends on the people around us.
Good words.

this would require a conversation of ego and id and saki
HAI!!!!

How true. And elegantly expressed.

[Will Neill]

Do we ever see the real person? Do we all hide behind what people want us to be.
Good work Jason. As always.

Beautifully-put...a unique take on the human condition...well done :)

[Onku Ghosh]

A true insight into the character of a human being. We never present our real image tot the word, always a masked one.The first two lines are very apt and they sum up the poem beautifully
Very realistic and an excellent read!!!
