This person that faces me
And stares at me in my eye
I don't recognize this figure
Nor do I know how it got in my life
That imagine that keeps haunting me while I sleep
Constantly telling me that it is okay to scream
I think to myself
Their words are on repeat
Whispers that linger
Saying "you have to believe you cannot do it on your own"
"Get a move on and get up now"
"You have to stand up for the purpose that was planned for you"
"You cannot be deceived by the people that are pretending to be happy for you but are praying for your down fall"
All these whispers bounce in my mind
Causing rational thoughts to become more prevalent and less blind
Who is this person that is blurred in my mind?
But so vivid in my heart
They seem to know more about myself than I do
Can it be the true me on the inside
The one that I have locked away year prior to this
It can't be
Or do I not want to come to terms with who I am
I thought I knew who I was, but it all seems to be a dream
Or a nightmare I tricked myself to believe this is the life I live in
This person in the mirror
Is just starting at me
Coming closer
Inching to face me
A someone I never thought I would see
Is this me?
The real me
Who am I really?
