Who is it you say you are
when the dark is creeping in?
Who is the hero in your fable
in a fight they cannot win?
Who is the damsel in distress
with a smile and deadly aim?
Who is the joker in your deck
that fixes every game?
These stories that we tell ourselves
are the stories of our lives,
and the characters that we find within
do the heart and mind devise.
So write your script, and tell your tale
and be the starring role;
for if we cannot be ourselves,
should we bow when the credits roll?
