There is another person inside of me.
I see glimpses of him from time to time,
but mostly he is locked away.

There is another person locked inside of me.
He would like to escape and explore himself,
but then life, circumstances, fear -and pride get in the way.

There is another person locked inside of me.
I think he might be the real me.
Sometimes he feels close, but mostly he is far away.

There is another person locked inside of me.
This old shape no longer fits me.
The frustrating struggle continues on the journey towards the unknown me.

Who is this person locked inside of me?
Should I be afraid of the new me?
Could he destroy all that has been built?
Will he submit to plans and dreams that are already made?

There is a person locked inside of me.
I will not let fear steal him away from me.
I think he might be the real me.
It is time to discover “me.”

“Now with God’s help, I shall become myself.” -Søren Kierkegaard
