Who are you?
September 26, 2016
Who are you when you can’t be anyone else?
When there are no more masks to pull away?
Who are you when the fog lifts?
When the illusion clears?
But then,
Who am I to ask this of you?
Who am I?
I’m a girl who doesn’t know her own face.
I’m a girl who has to fight for her happiness.
Who am I?
I’m a girl with not enough to reach the expectations.
I’m a girl lost in a labyrinth of shifting walls and closing doors.
That’s who I am.
Who are you?
