Let Me Be Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

Is my life one big show?
because, I really don't know
what prevents society from seeing
that I'am a unique being!

Weren't my footprints
also meant to make their own imprints
upon the earth
or am I just a copied breath,
simply born to do as instructed
and performing tasks others wanted?

The thing is
just like in show biz
I dressed up
put on make up
and I rehearsed
for the one's I impressed!

I always did as I was told
just so that i could fit into their mould
but, I struggled to put on the identity
given to me by society
because...
IT - REALLY - WASN'T - ME!
