Losing your mojo along with your mind
Deprived of the freedom required to find
The qualities found in that one of a kind
Who sees you for just who you are
Contacts forged during night disappear in the day
Awkward fumbles becoming a roll in the hay
Time won't stop it's yourself who is slipping away
From showing who you really are
Hidden talent you try hard to bury alive
With the shit you sift through every day to survive
Thinks he owns you so gives all around a high five
Swearing they can all see who you are
Once so deadly whenever you'd shoot from the hip
Walking over the eggshells with buttoned down lip
Order doctors to take your last dream off the drip
Just in case they find out who you are
Something's changing there's steel in your icy cool stare
Broken promises made to yourself need repair
You have so much to offer this world when you share
And let us all see who you are

I love the title of this poem,. How often do we look for qualities in another person, vs the superficiality we seem to embrace in the world today. The wonderful rhyming pattern gives this poem a flow, from stating the premise at the beginning, to realization at the end. Loved it!
