Helen Leslie Poet Rhyme

Who Am I?

Who am I ,I wonder as I stare at my reflection
Glaring at myself as though I am  under inspetion
      I have tried so hard to be what everyone wanted me to be
 Hiding behind this mask,I let others see
       Lost and completely confused
 twisted and tangled worlds become fused
      I don't understand,nothing makes sense
being on guard is my only defense
        People don't want to see whats before there eyes
they would rather turn away than hear someones cries
      Don't say a word,nor make a sound
     then no one will see whats all around
Each day I walk around,like everything is okay
but the truth is I don't know if I can make it another day
       Inside I am crumbling falling apart
shattered and broken my tired heart
    My eyes fill with puddles of tears
always knowing my deeepest fears
            Always in fear always afraid
     I am loosing my mind
 that is tattered and frayed
           No longer am I strong all that I am is weak
   Is there any hope left to seek ??????

Audrey Haick March 9, 2010 at 8:46 AM Yes, I believe there is Helen....if this is any consolation, I and so many others, like you have passed this road before. I've starred into the mirror and asked, "Who Am I"-true. But hold on and you will discover who you are. Just remember that you're unique! There's no one else like you anywhere. There's only one of you-made by a God who loves you no matter what. ...Peace, love, Audrey
