Who Are We

Who are we truly Are we the person everybody sees Or are we just actors playing out a scene Do we hide away who we truly are Or do we put ourselves out there For others to see in all our flaws and glories Or are we characters that we create Representing our own stories we write each day Do we really know our true selves that well Or are we lost in it all so much That we can't even tell Are we trying to be authentic or trying to be someone else What are we trying achieve What do we tell ourselves And are we happy in how we live and who we think or know we are Do we live life with a smile or the fear of being seen as an imposter Self reflection is good for the soul Just don't be too hard on yourself For we are all just trying to get by In the only way that we truly know.

Yes to both of these: "Are we the person everybody sees Or are we just actors playing out a scene"
