I am who you think I am                                                      
Well who do you perceive me to be?
Who am I ?
With three eyes to use
Surely you can see
So tell me
For I haven’t the slightest clue
I am who I am
But just who am I to you ?
I’m on the inside looking out
So how can I know
What you heard and observed
As you entered the door
Of my life
For surely impression arose
From my actions and deeds
And the aura that flows
From my mentally
The essence of me in full
No deceptions
Yes I choose not to pull
The wool
Over your eyes,
Inject your mind with confusion
I am who I am
This is not an illusion
Do you like what you see?
For there will be no change
I’ve been tainted with thug
And some spiritual pain
In my past
But the scars I wear with pride
I am who I am
So now why should I hide
The dark side
As though
Life has been peaches and cream
Should I pose as a saint
And conjure up a dream
That will please you?
But what if you awaken and see
That what you deserved
Wasn’t really the real me,
So I present myself raw,
Genuine
Uncut
All skeletons revealed
I’m reluctant to bluff
And be exposed in the future
As a stranger to you
Because the image now seen
Isn’t the man you knew
So take it or leave it
I will still be me
I am who I am
And that ‘s all I can be
Original
Unique
To the very last gram
