You are not who you really are
because you're always changing.
Who you really are is a combination
of who you want to be
and who you are perceived to be
by others.
Who you really are is a facade
of your own design
and a coat
that the world gave you.
You are not who you really are
underneath
Not on the surface
and not just below the surface
but maybe deep down
if there is anything still breathing
underneath the thick blanket
that you've covered yourself with
and the still further layers
you are hidden under by the world
and I hope you are
comfortable. --John C. Mcguire
