Living in deceit part 1

Living in deceit part 2

It can be so lonely and difficult to play a part that does not reflect who you really are. This poem is about how holding seems the right thing to do for the moment. But it ends with hope. Will we find the strength to be who we really are?

Living in deceit part 1

This is part one of a poem I wrote in a time when I felt I could not be myself. I think that these feelings are relatable for many because so many people play a part in their life that does not reflect who they really are. Whether it is imposed by other people or a cage we create for ourselves because we think that's what other people want, a lot of us feel like this. Enjoy!
