Words that speak from the heart

 identity

Who am I? Who are you? Do I go left? Do I go to right?
Who to trust and not to trust
The identity I wear what is it
Heart pumping shaking like a leaf
Swallowed by the shallow sea
Nothing to hold on sinking farther and farther
Colors blend into a mush of nothing
What does identity mean?
The glasses I wear for the world are a blur
I'm not tall nor am I short
How rare is a sapphire because those are my eyes
I'm tongue tied when I'm the center of attention
Traveling in the shadows become comfort
I can speak but a pencil and paper are better
I'm the shadow that can cross in the light
Thread inter winded with the soul
123...6 clouds wandering through the sky
Heart leaped with vivid memories
Drinking the bitter syrup as wanting chocolate
Identity
The mask cracks with every "I'm Fine"
Revealing the tears and scars
Wondering through out my mind
The mirror shows my looks the world sees
My heart is worn on my sleeve
For the reflection of my identity
