Who am I?
The one acting out
a persona projected upon me
by those around me.
The one playing the part
to maintain the status quo
to make others comfortable.
The one creating stories
to validate who I think
I should be.
The one fabricating excuses
when a simple “no thank you”
will do.
or . . .
Am I courageous enough
to step back from the drama
as the observer.
Am I courageous enough
to sit in the silence
no longer compelled to fill it.
Am I courageous enough
to surrender
all that others think I am.
Am I courageous enough
to simply be
true to Who I Am.
