It gets easier to lose touch with who we are
In a time when pretending is the easy way.
How can we be asked to stay true to ourselves
When playing a role is now the better option ?

If all we play is a created character,
How are we still supposed not to start being it?
Is it not easy playing rather than being ?
Is it not easy hiding the unwanted truth ?

Breaking down the walls and mask we put in our minds,
But has it not become easier said than done
When this character is all we know in our lives ?

Can we look in the mirror and know who we really are,
When we don't know truly who our reflection shows ?
Is it the real us, or the one we've created ?







This is actually not a one-shot, duh. But I wrote that earlier and I wanted to share it. It's actually the first "poem" in English I've ever written, so yeah.
