Identity

Why do the quiet have to be known as weak?
Why do the loud have to be known as strong?
Why do the beautiful ones have to be known as popular?
And why do the ugly have to feel shame?
The quiet are the loudest of all if you can hear it.
The loud are just a cover-up to hide their true selves.
Being around so many people 24/7 they don't think that they're still alone.
But maybe we all are just wearing masks to hide ourselves.
Not wanting people to see us at our worst or best.
Maybe we act like this because we don’t know ourselves, but being what the public wants us to be.
Why must the loud harass with the quiet, if they're ever so humble about themselves?
Why must the popular make the shame feel worse?
The shame is trying to block it out while the popular try to make themselves feel better.
The popular and loud don't care about consequences until their life is on the line.
Then the shame and quiet are to blame.
They’re disturbed.
They come from broken homes.
They listen to punk rock and don’t go to church.
Is this true?
I think not.
The only ones who really know us are us and God.
So know yourself and where you come from, because that is the time when you know where you're going in life.
