My real will make your real look like a rental
 This line in a song is driving me mental
 
 The reflection inside of me is not the same as my society
 I'm in a shadow of the who that I could be
 
 If only I had the courage to speak all the words outside of me
 Then I'd no longer cage this raw emotion internally
 
 For I have no problem saying all of my defeats
 The times I've not met my own beliefs
 
 I'm part of the negativity and the positivity 
 Living a life most dream, yet unappreciative
 
 Every reason to smile knowing I got a head start
 So when will I learn to see all things I've had from birth
 
 Maybe by doing more than just writing these lines down
 Come out from the shadows and let this lion raw 
 
 We need to stop doing all the crap we do to each other and of course, ourselves! 
 
 If your real is as real as mine feels 
 Thank you for the struggling 
 May we change for new beginnings  
 To end this internal suffering

May those new beginnings become reality.
Where my rhyming gets better and less negative chater.
Thanks for the comment my friend
I agree. We need to be better to others as well as ourselves. I share the guilt and blame.
Absolutely as I am still struggling to meet my own expectations.
Dan,
Yes, we all struggle...some of us more than others!
“I’m in a shadow of the who that I could be...”
You do have the courage!
Don’t cage that “raw emotion internally”!
By writing this excellent piece, you’re aware of your strength! You have a head start. Don’t fall behind!
