Who am I Really?
Am I the proactive who gets it done?
Am I the inactive who couldn’t careless?
Am I the kind constantly on the run?
Am I the kind that’s just such a mess?
Am I tall?
Am I small?
Am I the thinker with my head in the clouds?
Am I the drinker where problems abound?
Am I the type who pleases the crowds?
Am I the type with no one around?
Am I one?
Am I none?
Am I the clown so placid he seems?
Am I the crown of my social group?
Am I the guy with vivid daydreams?
Am I the guy that’s always out of the loop?
Am I glad?
Am I mad?
Who am I really, will I ever know?
Who am I really, I may never know?
Who am I really, could I want to know?
Who am I really, should I want to know?
Who am I really, no, I don’t want to know.
