Am I Who I am?



Who Am I!
Am I as strong as titanium?
Or do I fall apart as quickly as a sandy house?
Am I a strong independent boy?
Or am I the meek boy that runs away to the haven of someone else?
Am I the free spirit that everyone thinks I am?
Or am I a prisoner held captive in mind?
Who Am I!!
Am I as honest as everyone thinks I am?
Or I am a deceptive as a snake?
Am I ambitious as Thomas Shelby?
Or am I just another hopeless believer?
Am I the comedian that wants to make everyone laugh?
Or am I the guy that is silently screaming?
Who Am I!!!
Am I the kind of person that fights to the end?
Or am I that guy that is knocked out by the first round?
Am I the kind of person that never gives up?
Or am I the person gives up on the first try
Am I one of “the guys”?
Or am I as alone as an island
Who Am I!!!!
Am I a happy surprise?
Or Am I a mistake?
Am I the person that sores through the skies?
Or I am the person that is drowns deep in a bottomless ocean?
Am I my mother’s favorite child?
Or am I my mother’s greatest disappointment?
Who Am I!!!!!!
Am I the person that works hard no matter what?
Or am I the person that is tired of getting the same result?
Am I a good person?
Or am I just another Jeffery Dahmer in the making?
Am I the person that is begging the lord for an eternal slumber?
Or am I the person that chooses to keep going
WHO AM I!!!!!!!
