Who Am I? 
Who exactly am I?
What am I to be?
I want to search deep in my soul,
and find the real Me!
My identity is trapped inside.
Why does it cause me pain?
If I want to find Myself,
I guess I should be game.
But, I am scared of what I'll find!
- Frightened of Myself.
If I don't try, I will not fail,
So, I sit back on the shelf.
Do the tears that fill my eyes,
mean that I am weak?
Or do they mean that I am lost,
and too affraid to seek?
Will I ever find Myself?
Will I see the Soul inside?
Will I be whole, instead of half?
Will I gain strength and pride?
The person inside cries to be free.
I cry when no-one's near.
All I want is to be at Peace.
What is it that I fear?
Am I scared of what I'll find?
I can't be all that bad?
So, why can't I just search Myself,
and cease from being sad?
Will I one day, be able to say
"This is the Real Me"?
Or will I still be searching
- Fighting to be free?
