Finding My Self Poem by Suraj Samtani

Is this me, or
Is it my ego?

Can I really be me, or
Should I not let go?

The line between the two is fine, but
How do I know what is truly mine?

Have I really donned my self, or
Is it just another mask?

Of my potential I am now an elf, but
What do I say when you ask?

I can't reveal my vulnerable size -
I must show you, I am very wise!

Thus ignites my futile endeavour,
To sparkle, shimmer, and shine.

Yet when I inevitably lose my flavour,
Will you still be there when I whine?

Innocently, I have framed my every facade for you, but
Unknowingly, I have lost both you and my self too.
