Identity Crisis

“Just be yourself,”
They say
But that’s not
What they mean


They mean
Be the you
Everyone knows
You were growing up to be


They mean
Be the you
You were
Before the bad times


They mean
Be the you
Who loved flowers
And video games


They mean
Be the you
You forgot you
Ever were


Because honestly
It’s better
Than dealing
With the truth


It causes
Confusion
And sad
“Who am I?”s


But all they
Care about
Is who
You used to be


Be the old you
So we don’t
Have to get to
Know the new

Weak

Sometimes there’s no choice
But to give it everything
You’ve ever had. Sometimes.
