YOU

It's easier to be who you want to be.

When you forget who is around to see. 

But our egos and reputation 

is something we all care about

either on our everyday life or subconsciously 

Cause what they see in me , is part of the man

I command in me.

yes...here lies the truth:)
i completely agree with your words..its the people around, who no matter, how much we do for them, are never satisfied, and also at a time when we aren't able to fulfill their expectations, they r the only ones, who first criticize and grumble, sadly, a bitter irony:)

so yes, we first need to be us n value our self, because we are good and happy ever thing around and everyone will automatically be alright:)

well done:)

I like how you've brought out your message in simple words, but loud and clear all the same here. Good job.

"I think; therefore I am" :) nicely done...love the brevity and depth...my cup of tea.

A very true poem! I love the first lines especially;)

So true Jason. We create a persona - a front for the outside and only our trusted intimates know the real us (or what we choose to reveal even to them). Pretty soon its hard to break free from this character we have created.
A wry observation on the human condition CRZ
Well done

what they see in me is part of the man I command in me. Wise words.

This a great piece. Profound and solid. I would just say, you might want to loose the full stop at the end of the first line, to me it stops the flow when that line and the second one should flow together. But, a great piece.

I like this very much and agree that for many years in our lives we never show who we want to be. As I get older I care less now about the side that I showed to others, now I say this is me and I care not what anyone thinks. Good write.

very true statement you have going here. no matter how much people say they don't care about other's opinions, that desire to please or just that slight care will always be present. great work and even if you can't forget who is around to see, always be who YOU are :)

This is a deep write, really got me thinking.

Love these lines, they sum it up very well. It is true that without others judgments and eyes, it is a lot easier to be true to ourselves. Thanks :)
