Who are YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?
today.
you need to ask yourself.
your soul, your mind..
your body...
wants to be acknowledged.
No more hiding or editing.
Who are you before you have been marinated in hesitation..
before you have been seasoned with analyzation..
before you have been cooked in social expectations..?
what do YOU want to do?
what words are sitting on your tongue?
which direction do your legs yearn to walk?
WHO ARE YOU?
what are you really thinking..?
tell me what you honestly want to say.
are you concerned I might laugh? great.
are you scared I might cry? wonderful.
I want.
I want to know YOU.
I want to know WHO YOU ARE.
I KNOW who I am.
I have cheated.
I have lied.
I have deceived.
I have stolen.
I have lusted.
I have hated.
I have also...
loved.
helped.
defended.
supported.
given.
cared.
embraced.
I am me.
There is no taking me from me.
I say what I want.
I do what it is I want done.
My mind smiles now.
My soul laughs.
My body shines.
So....
WHO ARE YOU?
