I Am
Sometimes I google my name
To remind me of who I am.
Often I find myself off track,
Feeling life is one big scam.
With self-esteem deminished,
I want to give up hope.
Struggles over-whelm me,
And it's so hard to cope.
The right road is clouded,
And my vision is blank.
Half my life has been spent.
Running on an empty tank.
The person living inside,
Everyone else can clearly see.
But I remain a mystery,
To the man inside of me.
The man who inspires,
Is no inspiration to self.
The genius to others,
Still feels like a elf.
Who's in the mirror.
That my eyes can't see.
I am who I am,
To everyone but me.
