Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

We Are

We Are
By Franklin Price
3/30/2015

We are who we purport to be
The ones you see in front of thee
We may not be to us you see
The ones that you want us to be

We present from deep within
The who we are or may have been
The same or not our acumen
To acquaintance family or friend

You never know just who we are
A mask we wear a window bar
To each we open just so far
Ourselves our egos not to mar 

A fragile fortress in the fight
Someone's beacon in the night
Showing some that might is right
All of these within our sight 

If we choose there's honesty
For some that's simply not to be
The choice is ours  for you and me
We are what we make us to be
