Where do we go?...

Where do we go?

Years of building ourselves up. 
Years of finding inspirations and motivations
Just to be able to feel proud.

Where do we go?

Years of looking in the mirror 
Smiling, frowning,
Through disappointments and glory.

Where do we go?












When someone says
It’s not you
This is not who you were.

Where did you go?

Where did we go?
How did we get so lost?
Who is that in the mirror?
Who is that inside us?

Is it the old us?
Is it the new us?
Who was us!

How did we get here
That we cannot recall 
What we ever were?

Where do we go from here
To find that person we once were?
Who were we?

Maybe this is who we always were
And the world just saw
Who we were pretending to be.

Are we that good an actor 
That the whole world was fooled?
Or somewhere, somehow
That us just got lost.

Where do we begin
To find the used to be us?
Where did we stop being us?
Why did we stop being that us?
Should we go back?
Back to where?

Where did this start?
Where did we ever go?
Where do we go now?...

The New Us!

Revenge it is not,
irritation no reason for, 
not what it looks like,
just a simple tiredness you can call it.

We are not desperate,
though we may look it.
We are not non-adjusting,
though our face might show it.

Sometimes, 
you just get tired 
of being that same old story
that just doesn't change!
The same old face
that just always seems the same!
The same dress 
whose colours never change!

So in our quest 
to be someone else, 
we forget one thing...

We can change the outside,
we can turn from jeans to cheerleaders' skirts,
from T-shirts to tank tops, 
from Nike shoes to jimmy choos
and someday, we will change who we are from the inside.

It is said you cannot change who you are.
Is that so?
I don't think so...

If it were,
how could what we wear
make us feel different every time we changed a dress?
How could a skirt make us feel pretty and jean sporty?
How could earings make us feel girly and arm band athletic?
How could saris make us feel graceful and gown English?

Who we are on the outside 
will one day change who we are on the inside.

We want to break rules,
turn 18 and start drinking,
be someone else?

Be!

But remember!

Whatever you pretend to be,
one day,
you will be.

So break the rules and be who you want to be,
but O'fellow life finder,
choose who you would wish to be!

What you do today
will affect your tomorrow
Who you pretend to be today
you will be tomorrow.

So just think before acting,
what you are pretending to be,
do you really want that tomorrow...?
