How was I supposed to know the Real me
With all these clones of clones around me
Why am I feeling so empty
Why are these people changing me
Is One of you supposed to help me
How was I when you first met me
Was I different than how you act normally
I need to find the real me
Can you Hear can you answer me
Murder, and It’s killing personality
Can’t remember, who I’m personally
Real thoughts buried dig deep
Misplaced all the good memories
Just history forget eventually
Feels so real am I even alive
Fade in a group disguised
Separate myself or live a lie
With all these clones of clones around me
Why am I feeling so empty
Why are these people changing me
Is One of you supposed to help me

Can you Hear can you answer me
Murder, and It’s killing personality
Can’t remember, who I’m personally
Real thoughts buried dig deep
Misplaced all the good memories
Just history forget eventually
Feels so real am I even alive
Fade in a group disguised
Separate myself or live a lie

the image potently flows with your words. i might consider cropping it as to not subtract from the emotion it exudes.
your pain is heard..felt..seen..

Thank you very much, I appreciate the idea and just cropped it, I took it at work and felt it would fit good

This is deep and raw. The intensity of the emotions is deeply felt. I enjoyed this.

Reading over this again... Have to say, I love this poem and can relate wholeheartedly. I had a quote I came up with awhile back that went a little something like this... "Some people get so caught up trying to find another that they lose themselves in the mix"
Stay true to yourself, always. You'll be much happier in the long run. There will always be pressure to conform and try to fit in, but when you have a strong identity, you create your own path ;)
Great writing!!

That’s a pretty good quote, and thank you for liking it. I’m still me and always will be, but sometimes you wouldn’t mind fitting in more because everyone around you is having fun

My pleasure, good sir. I understand that... We all need friends too. I suppose finding the proper balance is key. Anyway, keep up the great writing! :)
