Who Am I

Who am I?

Think am what you see (my body)
Think am good/bad
Hey! That’s not me
It’s just the veil
Used to mask the real me
Either to please/displease you
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Exhibiting the veil
You accept/reject me
Hey! That’s never my will
It’s just my wish – apparent me
Am relieved but never fulfilled
All for your sake
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Though the veiling ever alerts
True me still flashes unconsciously
“Whew! Never knew he’s like this”
Yes! You’ve seen a little true me
Whence comes my sense of freedom
Don’t be surprised
You’ve been deceived!

Who am I?
Unmasking who I am; the real me
Look beyond my laughter/frown
Examine my smile/grimace
‘Cos veiled by my body:
My soul and spirit
The emergence of the true me
You’ve been deceived!
