I am someone that I don't want to be. 

I am trapped inside someone that I don't want to be. 

Like an enclosed animal in a cage. 

I can see everyone on the outside, 

everything I want to do, 

everything I want to be. 

I just don't know how to break the cage. 

I don't know why I can't escape the shelter.

It's like I'm in this bubble.

Like all I want to do is so out of touch. 

How do I be someone that I'm not?

How do I become happy with who I am? 

How do I get out of being so simple? 

How do I be who I want to be, 

but stay the same? 

How do I change?

This is such a simple idea of a poem but it packs such a powerful punch! This is amazing and something that is so relatable. Beautiful job :-)

identity crisis... I'm going through the same thing
Something I'm hoping sees it's way through with age, wisdom, and experience!
