who am i but a number or a face who should i let myself be i let people look me by as if to avoid seeing the real me but the truth be know there is no me there is no person behind my smile behind the frown i present at times people request the feelings i hold but how can i show what i don’t know i am but only a face or a name less to some more to others how can anyone be sure of who they are in a world where you are questioned so how should i present myself today should i be the one everyone wants or should i do just as i please are we put here on this earth to do what others desire or shall we do only to please ourselves because to others i am nothing more than a mere face, a friendly gesture dismissed before a second thought because where i sit here on this earth i am nothing more than a smile. |

Thanks for your comment I just started college and am living in a dorm. It's been a hard adjustment. It's nice to know I'm not alone! |

Angelwings, if you are "dismissed before a second thought" they are missing someone who seems to me to be very insightful. Their loss, our gain. Dee |

Yet for today you seem a number or just a face but in the days ahead when you adjust you'll begin to see there's really something quite special in you. Very good poem |

you can be whoever you want to be...don't look at what oher people are doing or saying or wanting you to be...people know a fake smile a mile away...you gotta be real, no matter what you choose to be that day, be yourself. Happiness is inside of you, not outside. Outside changes too much for you to find happiness there. And if you created a new lonely life for yourself, you can create anything you want!
