I Am No One

I Am No One

I am no one
I don’t say this because I feel invisible,
But because I cannot show,
 Who I am deep below.
An identity is something hidden,
Almost like a super hero or villain.
But although I can show my face,
My soul is still erased.
I am not saying erased forever,
Only erased till my heart is unlaced.
A human’s identity is determined in the end,
The good deeds he did, 
The hearts he did mend.
But is it up to me to say what makes a man?
No, I am describing me, a nice boy,
My Identity waiting to be discovered, 
buried in the sand.
