When I open my eyes

I wonder is this where I’m supposed to be

Is this who I’m supposed to be?

I walk thru my life

In a cloud of static

Watching it go by

But not really seeing

Hearing everyone talking

But not really listening

Because they all want me to be someone else

They all want me to be what they never were

But I don’t want to be them

I want to be me

I live in a shadow of lies
Hoping to see a light break thru

Under a weight of others expectations

Trying to figure out how to touch the sky

Shake off the load imprisoning me

Will I be special

Can I be powerful

Can I turn to a mirror and see the wings I feel are there

Will I touch the sky

Is my reflection who I am

What is it people see

When I walk by them on the street

Do they see the broken

Do they see the torn

Do they see the dark

Do they see the pain

Or just the reflection

"I live in a shadow of lies

This is an amazing poem, I loved how you ended it, and that part I have copied down sticks in my mind. Wonderful job!
