Who you are

Have you ever felt so misunderstood?
Your complexity shrouds all your good.
Something that you can't comprehend,
So you quietly shed tears of frustration.
You cast yourself aside, hide behind your
Anguished pride.
Made some mistakes in the past, ended by love
That didn't last.
There's people all around you, but they just
Can't understand you.
A loner you have become, uncertain and always
On the run.
Don't relish in there silly ways, you have
Something they need.
The sweetest sound is not unsaid,
Hold up your weary head.
So much hatred in these times,
No matter how you try, it isn't right.
Don't suffer in silence, set your mind at ease.
Don't beat yourself down, just to please.
There will always be critics, plaguing your thoughts.
Release your ability, that is meant to be taught.
Just always remember, to be
Who you are.....

I get the idea at the beginning that you have made the leap from being in life's drama - to being an observer of it - 'to be who you are' is all there really is that's important. wink

Hi, cherryreggae,
There will always be critics, plaguing your thoughts (though, often we are our own worst critic). It is good to always remember, to be Who you are..... and give credit where credit is due. Thanks for sharing Who you are with us.
