The Real Me

Who am I ?

Have you met me?

No, you have only passed me by

What did you see ?

What did you choose to notice

Did you see anything at all?

What all did you miss ?

Did you see me fall

Or watch me rise ?

Did you see the truth

Or see society's lies ?

Did you see how much I've aged

Or see my youth ?

Did you see the joy behind how much I've raged ?

Did you look behind the mask ?

Look beyond the fancy clothes ?

Did you see my best task

Or see the bad choices that I've choose ?

Strip me down to the bone

Strip me down to the person you've never known

When will you look beyond only what you see ?

When will you see me the way I am suppose to be ?

Will you ever see the real me ?
