Identity

You don’t know my true colours You don’t know anything about me You don’t know my identity You don’t know all my answers You don’t know why my laughter You don’t know my identity You don’t know the scars on my face You don’t know the footsteps I trace You don’t know my identity Watch all your calculations Stop jumping in my situation You don’t know my identity Come by and knock on my door I’ll get to know you a bit more We can both breathe serenity I’m waiting, I’m waiting I’m waiting for some company Forget the days of your conscience It’s time to break the silence Let’s try to find our identities You don’t know my identity… 15th December 2020 Your Advice to Youth poetry contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
