Who am I if I'm not someone else's
What am I doing building other people's dreams
When did I become a reflection
Of everyone's opinion of me
Where did I hang my own happiness
How do I end a dependent mentality
What is it that I am capable of
In order to get my happy finality
Beautifully expressed. In a bid to devote for the benefit of others, you may tend to neglect yourself a bit. A fine balance is needed for overall welfare- inner as well as external. Thanks a lot.
I have been returning the favor of reading your poems since you read mine. I notice most of your pieces deal with personal angst and constant questioning of yourself. I relate to you in that aspect, keep up the good work
Compelling questions, and important to even begin this self examination, if we are to become as much as possible our own persons. Well-written and enjoyable to read and contemplate. Thank you for sharing this, and welcome to PH.

Great work...These are questions we all ask ourselves, this is life, true and real...This is poetry.
It feels good to get a compliment when you really put yourself out there. Thank you.
