Authentic Me

Authentic Me

A Poem by Moonlight

 

Wandering everywhere

In reality, in fantasy

Trying to be someone

Who is loved and respected by others.

 

Leaving my origins,

Surfing the waves of renaissance

Evolving and revolutionising

Making something of me

Bit by bit.

 

How authentic is this me?

I do not know…

But it is a step

Or so I thought…

 

But the truth was,

I was running away;

Running away from whom I was

Who I am

And

Who I would be…

 

Funny how I thought

That I could escape reality

By blindfolding my eyes

Against the glimmering truth

 

Now, I have travelled

Through dreams and actuality

And I am back to where I had started from…

 

Happiness, I would never

Find it in a pretend play

Of being a me

That never existed…

By living a lie of my life…

 

Who am I now?

I do not know…

But now,

I have acknowledged myself

And accepted my fate…

 

Does that mean I am puppet

Now in this play called life?

No…

I am someone who is

Changing my fate to find my destiny…

 

It’s a road not taken by many

But a road taken by a few exemplary

To find the authentic me

True to my origins

And true to my beliefs…

Thanks Emily! :)
you consistently manage to intrigue me Moonlight, this poem is amazing and many people can relate at some point in that poem. I for one can say this entire poem has spoke out to me, as one who has constantly run from his fate, tried to hide from his destiny.. i can understand what is being said within this poem, i thank you for writing this :)

wonderful but going along fate doesn't make you a puppet the truth is it's what you do makes your fate.......
