My Identity

Nattering about the identity
Makes me feel guilty
About all those years I spent
Making everyone happy

Lost somewhere, still searching for myself
I am somewhere lost in this 9 to 5 job
And had no chance left
Than to just sob
Want to become a Poet, a Singer
Trying hard to do what I am Capable
Just somewhere knowing the truth and making myself Extraditable

Its completely unfair with my eyes
As I couldn't make them to stop cry
Just because I can't justify
Doesn't proof my existence
As a consequence of someone who can't just recognise my identity

All of their blanish compliment
Can't just vanish my identity
Instead they lead me to the 
Town of accomplishments

This is how I found myself in the mirror
Unhiding the identity and revealing the secrets
That I used to keep it 
Becoming a conspirer

Oh I absolutely love your lyric Simran! It reflects my past so much. Stuck in a 9 to 5 job, aspiring to be a poet and a singer, the unending vicious cycle yet clinging to hopes. I could relate to every word. Congratulations on your win. Blessings and love :) Keep writing and inspiring!
