Who Am I

who am i
does anyone 
know

who am i
does anyone
care

i know lots of people
but i have
no real friends

i chat, laugh
and sympathize-
but it's all pretend

when left alone
with moments 
to ponder

i look inside
and try hard
to find

the real me
my essence
the me left behind

i'm ashamed 
to admit
i'm ashamed to say

the real me
is buried
deeply packed away

i waited 
too long
to unpack myself

that myself
is long gone
and i'm just a mess

Pandita Sietesantos Date: 8/28/2014 6:08:00 PM Hi Terri, this is such a deep powerful write and it reminds me of one of mine called "Do you know me?" which is along the same lines. You may want to take a peek at it. I wish you a warm welcome to PoetrySoup and happy writings. Pandita
