I apologise. <br />For I am not <br />All that I claim to be. <br /> <br />I am many people, <br />To many people. <br />Not one being <br />Any more real <br />Than the other. <br /> <br />I didn’t have to be this way <br />I was meant to be normal. <br />That’s what I couldn’t accept. <br />That’s why I couldn’t just be. <br /> <br />The lies run so deep <br />They’re real. <br />And that is why I apologise <br />To myself.<br /><br />arundhati sinha<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lies-4/
