Who Are You?

Self exploration

 

 

 

Who Are You?

 

 

Complex transparency

                 Hiding in plain view

                                Silent restraint

   Unbeknownst to the world

            Wasted occupant of space

                                   The suit does not fit

             The smile is not real

                                  Wake up sleepy head

                     Stop dreaming

Reality is painted

         With tears

                  Fear is your reaper

                           Holding you captive

                                   Who do you think you are

                          Walking dead?

        Life is not over

                 If you knew how to start it

Do you know where you are?

                                   Who you are?

       Or does the world make that decision for you?

                   Each frame can be altered

                                     Dissected and re-arranged

      It can be painted any color

                         You are the animator

       You direct the source

                         It's push and pull

               Of tug of war

Can be won

         If you so choose to accept the challenge

                               So I ask again

 

             Who are you?

Very cool. Rather insperational. Lot's of people loose touch with themselves as the progress through life. Its rare to find someone who has an opinion that they stand up for because THEY believe in it. Amazing pen Christian. Loved the visuals you created with your words! :)

[Chris Micha]

Wow...thank you so much, Chelsea. I am so honored to hear you say that! :)

[Konigin]

You are so welcome Christian! :)

Love how philosophical it is , yet u forget about the thoughts and the ideas transported, with the imagery. Surreal display of words, " Reality is painted with tears " .. Love it :D

[Chris Micha]

Wow Rim, I'm am truly lucky to able to hear such words spoken. I can't thank you enough! :)

You get down to the bare bones, when asking yourself this question.
(It appears that You and I are very much alike)

"fear is your reaper"-really grabbed my thoughts.
I like this piece, it shows your vulnerable side. The mask is off, no bells and whistles, which is far more captivating to me. Nicely done. :)

[Chris Micha]

Ah so you see it too. I am honored my dear by your words. :)

[KacieLynn]

Love it! You speak the pure truth... Who are you is a question every being faces each waking day...Again, perfect

[Chris Micha]

I'm so glad you got it, Kacie. Thank you so much ma'am! :)

[Natalie Dieudonne]

This is a very important question to ask yourself.

Fear is your reaper
Holding you captive
Who do you think you are
Walking dead?

Really nice lines.... I smiled at the Walking Dead line because I'm a big Walking Dead fan. I know I'm so random lol.
But overall this was a really cool piece.

[Chris Micha]

How are you random when I'm random's randomness! ;P

[Natalie Dieudonne]

Haha! Well I love your randomness :)

Life is certainly a treacherous tug-of-war! It's all about finding out who we are, that's the whole path. Some grow up too fast, some never bother to grow up at all. But we all have our own paths and you'll never be your own person if you follow another's footsteps, then you become someone who is not 'you'. Great mind-bending questions and great imagery and structure :)

[Chris Micha]

Thank you so much, Svettana. You always have such wonderful things to say and I thank you! :)

[Glass Heart Inc]

This is great work Christian. It really shows that you have the power to control your own life and what happens to you if you're not passive and you fight. You have to really see what's around you and know who you are. :)

[Chris Micha]

So true my friend. Sometimes it takes a long time to find out who we really are and what our path is.

[ReneeJ]

Food for thought here. This poem made me think while reading, which is not usually this case as I would have to read it over again. Always good, Keep writing!

[Chris Micha]

It's good to have a little introspective every now and then. Thank you so much, Renee! :)

[Ruth]

I needed to read this today...we do forget at times our true selves and focus on self not the soul...we are so much more than we think...time to realign :) x

[Chris Micha]

Poppy, truly it is an honor to hear such words at this time. I can't thank you enough! :)

[Mirra]

We don't have the power to control our tomorrow but we always have a choice how to do things. This is an excellent piece!

[Chris Micha]

I am honored by your words. Thank you!

[Mirra]

You're welcome ^_^
