Who Are YOU

Who am I
and who are you
is the person portrayed
really true

Do you wear a suit
or perhaps a dress
when the people you see
you want to impress

Do you watch your language
the words you say
when you want events
to go your way

And when you're in rooms
with those you know
do you not hold back
and you let it flow

Are you different people
with different friends
are you so many characters
it never ends

Do you ever think
or wonder why
you can't be yourself
or give it a try

The you that you see
when you see your reflection
is a stranger to some
and they raise an objection

Hypocrites are those
who preach a good word
then turn and do different
and it looks so absurd

I know there are things
we don't want to say
in church or in class
it's just never okay

But our heart and our mind
must begin with a core
that is who we are
and nothing more

When ever we stray
or become a big fake
we hope there's a friend
to point out our mistake

And when we are made
aware of this act
It's good to be humble
and quickly retract

All that we said
and all that we did
because we lie in this mess
after all it's our bed.
