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! :)

Note: I tried to put your poem in my library but it gives me a gray background and won't allow me. Any idea as to why???:)..................

[Chris Micha]

It happens to me sometimes. I just come back to it and it works lol. Maybe I was meant to be gray. :)

You frame yourself and us with dignity, with aptness and with truth. We can write our stories, make our movies and change our destiny to be in line with God's...Excellent...:)...................

our lives are like a movie...and we are the director....we manipulate the action, especially what our own characters do...so we have that power to change things...to make things better...

and we can win best Picture, best Actor, best Director...and find our lives livable...but we must do the work...to achieve that goal.

So true Jacob and too often we're type-casted. Thank you for such beautiful insight, sir!
