The boy looked in the mirror, ever so upset
"I don't recognize myself. Who am I?" he said
Staring at himself, he realized his persona
"One day," he hoped, "it'll all be over."
So he walked back to bed and tried just to sleep
But his head was running with secrets he'd keep
"I'm a liar." he thought, before closing his eyes
He still couldn't sleep, so he got up and sighed

Staring at his own reflection, Namjoon couldn't tell what he was seeing. Looking back at him was a boy, broken down, with colored hair and an outfit he didn't pick. "I don't recognize myself. Who am I?" he asked, but really, he was the only one that could answer that question.
And that's when he realized the truth; he couldn't recognize himself because he simply wasn't himself. He was a mere continuation of a persona he had created several years ago, when he was just a teenager hoping to become something big.
But now, his previous mistakes were catching up to him. Every day, he got more and more sick of pretending to be someone he was not. And "One day," he hoped, "it'll all be over." but that was only something he could dream of.
So, walking back to bed in his misery, he laid down and attempted to sleep. Yet all he could do was stare at the ceiling, thinking deeply about all the secrets he was holding and all the lies and half-truths he had told. "I'm a liar." he thought, before finally closing his eyes.
Moments passed, and the boy still laid awake in his bed. So getting up and walking back to the mirror for another while of self-reflection, he sighed and conceded defeat. He himself was now a persona, and he probably would be forever.
