Fourth Wall Self Reflection

What do you see in me?

I have suffered in happiness.

I have been broken and repaired.

I have lost many times but also gained.

I have seen the bottom and found the top.

I have been absent but ever present.

I have found a light but i've seen the darkness.

I have found my strength in my greatest weakness.

I have shivered in the cold and basked in the sunset.

I have cried tears of pain and joy.

I have never felt better and always feel the worst.

I have gone beyond my limits but also failed to start.

I have been fortunate in my misfortunes.

I have accepted death by living.

I have started alone and finished alone.

I have forgotten to remember who I am.

I have chased time and watched it stand still.

I have a lot of love to give but don't know of true love.

I dared to be something not meant for me.

I have given my all and left with nothing.

I have followed but taken a different path.

I have grown to accept the little things.

I have learned to understand how to simplify.

I have traveled far and wide to appreciate the life around me.

I am just a human, I am not who you think I am.
