What is character?
What does it really mean?
Do you really want to have this conversation?
I guess so, so it seems
Personality
Nature
Who you are
Do you know who you are?
Do you know your strengths?
Your weaknesses?
What makes you tick?
What makes you sick?
Why do you fly off the handle at certain things?
We spend so much of our life
Looking at other people
Judging them
Condemning them
Maybe putting them on a pedestal
That they so do not deserve
Your character will decide the fate of your life
Take a look inside of you
What do you see?
Is it evil?
Repulsive?
Obscene?
Righteous?
Forgiving?
Unguarded?
Passionate?
Sympathetic?
Heartbreaking?
Desolate?
Abandoned?
We feel so many things inside
We don’t want to open up
We always try to hide
I can tell you who you are
But I can’t even tell myself who I am
It’s too hard
It hurts
Dealing with my reality
It’s too strenuous
Dealing with myself
It’s indisputable
I won’t be able to deny it
It will be accurate
Way to factual
Then I would have to actually deal with my issues
Who does that?
Avoidance is the key
But my characters on the line
This will determine how society views me
I want to be successful
I want to be a good person
OK OK I’ll do it
I’ll test myself
In every way possible
And hopefully
Maybe hopefully
I’ll learn to find the real me
