Who Am I If Not Myself
Who am I,
if not myself?
If I cannot express myself with words,
laugh like I do,
chew my lower lip
or stare into space while thinking.
Who am I,
if not myself?
The one who always makes time to help,
to listen or just to be there.
Giving a hug,
a word of encouragement
or move mountains if I cared for you.
Who am I,
if not myself?
Soft hearted,
sometimes moody,
shy and so damn trustworthy.
Who am I,
if not myself?
When I trust without judgement,
love unconditionally and completely,
still getting myself trampled on or back-stabbed along the way.
Who am I,
if not myself?
would you want to know me if I was someone else?
