If I were Me

Today dear reader, I am not feeling it. I have not felt like writing today, and I think it shows in today's work. We were prompted to answer the questions 'If I were Me?', and that ended up being the title to the poem. I am not happy with my piece today. But maybe if I was me, I might like it more. Thanks for being with me on this journey so far.

If I were me;

authentic, real.

What would I be?

Who would I see?

I swear I don’t know

who I pretend I am.

A stranger in my own mind,

an intruder in my own

reality.

Am I being myself?

Genuine?

Sincere?

Who am I?

I am resigned to the fact

that this is me.

Confused.

Dynamic.

Never the same.

So this is what I see

when I look inside.

It is the question I ask

if I were me.
