Am I really me?
Or was I made by the
things of reality?
Am I me today
because of the things
I did yesterday?
Who makes all my choices?
Is it me?
Or is it the surrounding
voices?
Can I change my route?
Or will life just
throw me out?
Am I really me?
Or was I made by
my own insecurities?

The author's comments:
Lots of people deal with peer pressure or other things that weighs them down in life and they start to wonder how did they get there and where in life did they mess up at? Well the question they should be asking themselves is, am I following my dreams or someone else dream? This inspired me to write this poem "Am I really me?"
