You May Think You Know Me

You may think you know me, But you really don’t. For how can you know me, If I don’t truly know myself? Everyday I wake up and make a choice, A choice of which mask to wear that day. Sometimes I think about choosing to go natural, With no mask at all. But then I start to realize, I don’t know what natural is anymore. Everything about me is fake now a days, My hair - coloured, my smiles - forced, my personality - changes depending who I’m with. Nothing about me is me, So how can I call myself “me”? How can I be such a great actress, To change myself completely? How has no one noticed this change, This drastic change in who I am? I used to be naturally blonde, Now I’m colouring it. I used to be naturally happy, Now I’m forcing it. I used to be naturally me, Now I’m not who that is. Never mind who I used to be, Who am I now, and how did I get to be this person? Was I just to afraid to show the world, Who I really am? Was I afraid they would mock me, For being me? Or was I afraid I would mock myself, For who I was? Whatever the reason, I know I was afraid. But now I’m going to stand up, And show the world who the real me is. First things first, I have to discover who that is! Then the rest of the world can too!
