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 ??????

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

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
