If Not Yourself, Than Who ?

What face do you
choose
to wear today?
The fake you?
You so easily
play.

Assuming identities
of somebody else.
Another day.
Just another mask
from the shelf.
Disguising true features
behind shame and
confusion.
Your false reality.
Nothing but delusion.

Don't know who you are.
You've lost the true you.
If not yourself,
than who?
False projections
and fictional
reflections.
The face beneath
you hide and
protecting.
The you that you are.
The you in your
heart.
Your oppressed
rainbow that
you leave in the
dark.
Will you ever confront
what's evidently
true.
If not yourself ,
than who ?
