I am

I am the friend, the one to talk to
I listen to their trouble
I laugh with them, sigh with them
Am there if only an ear is needed

I am the loner, the one by himself
To see myself more than to be myself
Alone through my own fault
through opportunity not to be, I stay

I am anonymity, the one who no one knows
Those friends that are anonymous too
Through a screen we can only see so little,
but at the same time, more than we might without.

I am the individual, I am conformity
I do that to separate, I try to include
I think differently, yet unintentionally the same
To be caught between I remain

You

Who are you?
Do you even know?
Try to tell me if you like
Only so much you can show

Do your parents know
that real yourself inside?
How about your siblings?
Is there something that you hide?

Tell me what you think
Show us what you do
Prove what you believe in
Is that what makes up you?

You can hide behind your lables
Pretend for all you like
Show your mask to all the world
Let nobody inside

Protect yourself from all of them
If that is what you wish
But I will say: Release yourself
Scratch your name from their lists

And if you want
I'll help you find
That real yourself inside
A person
You will never
never
Hide
