Who Are You?

Who Are You?

 

Media,

A corrupted society,

Run by morons

Driven by a deep lust

For green paper slips.

 

Dreamers,

Intent on getting their

Name out in the world,

To make something of their lives.

 

Innocents,

Broken by what

They thought was right.

 

Hate,

You hate yourself

Because you can never

Be yourself.

 

Look,

They’re all watching.

Don’t mess up.

Don’t let them see

Who you’re truly meant to be.

 

Love,

Overused and overlooked,

Because selfishness

Is the new selflessness.

 

Confused,

Because you couldn’t be

Yourself, so you couldn’t see

Yourself, so no one loves you,

No one sees the real you.

 

Decide.

It’s you or them.

There’s the you they want you to be,

and the you that’s hidden unnaturally.

 

So, who are you?
