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.
