Who am I?

Am I someone who cares,

but doesn't care?

Someone who knows,

But doesn't know?

Am I someone who is free,

but isn't free?

Am I someone who succeeds,

or doesn't succeed?

Who am I?

I am just a piece of loose change,

who goes from one pocket into another,

and in between,

I get tossed away.

Then hides in corners, and go into little cracks,

where no one can reach me.

Who am I?

I am just a prisoner trapped within myself.

Someone who is scared,

scared to set myself free.

Free to get hurt again.

Who am I?

I am a lost and an insecure child.

I am someone who needs and wants

something to hold on to,

but can't find it.

Who am I?

I am someone who falls

over and over again,

and sometimes I don't even know,

how to pick myself up, and start over.

Who am I?

I am someone is scared to face the world alone.

I am someone who needs someone to stand beside me,

and catch me for when I do fall.

I need someone to help me get up again.

For one day I may fall and never get up.

Who am I?

I am a lost child, ready to go out

and face the world,

but yet, not ready.
