Just want to be ~me~
Is that so bad?

Just want to be loved *AS* me
Is that too much too ask?

Just want to make a go of this "thing" called life
Is that impossible to do happily?

Just want to see ~my~ way clear
Is that a pipe dream?

Just want to give my heart freely
Is there a key to unlock the chains?

Just want to dream
Is there someone who will not wake me up?

Just want to be me.....
Without any pretense!

Great poem about the masks we often put on to prevent others from knowing our true nature. This poem expresses the fear that we all seem to have today, in society, that people will reject us if we show them our true identities.  You know what's funny about this?  Everyone has that fear.  Even the guys who supposedly are going to reject you for who you really are!

Well you just spoke truth beyond anything I have ever heard, these seven questions are the ones that I have been asking for so long, not quiet so perfect as you did it here but just the same now I know im not the only soul in this world that has these questions and who??? has the answers is it us and were just not seeing it or someone will never meet in our life time, thank you so much for this PERFECT POETRY.

Love, Cerenity
