FUNNY BIRD

I'm not me
I just Pretend
The me I am
Is not enough

But the me you know
I wear
So well

You dress me up
As something great
While I just want
To be myself

But Hide
I do
So well

And under this
Bravado shell
A spirit free
Who'd like to sing

But silence
I know
So well

It fills me with a longing
So strong
It draws the air
Out of my chest

Yet still
I breathe
So well

But hiding in silence
Pretending to sing
Is tearing me apart

So well

I think its an epidemic

I really like your poem - this describes the me I'm used to being - but I'm learning how to sing.

I've discovered I can actually sing and I love it and the me who I am is enough

You have no idea how relevant this poem is to me, thanks for sharing

Interesting write. Enjoyed.
Has anyone ever told you that in your pic, you look similar to David Copperfield the magician? That's a good thing.

Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.

Ah, try having multiple me's, one to fit a variety of friends and family. Ha, but not so any longer. I am learning to be the truth of me and leave others to their own conclusions. I liked the thoughts behind this.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Broken, you expressed yourself "so well."
