Know Thy Self Lynanne Satorius
When asked to describe myself for this paper I really couldn’t think of how to. It’s not that I don’t know a lot about myself it’s that I haven’t really done enough growing to find who I really am yet. Trying to figure out who I am is a daily challenge for me because I change every day. So I thought that I would find a poem that describes myself and ties in with my picture. This excerpt is from the poem called Inside Out, by Angie Flores:
Outside lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair.
Outside lives a girl with eyes of joy that brings you to ease,
yet inside hides a girl shedding tears of sadness.
Outside lives a girl with a beautiful laugh that's contagious,
yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger.
Outside lives a girl who is fearless and tough,
yet inside hides a weak girl who lives in fear.
Outside lives a girl with a perfect image,
yet inside hides a girl with regrets and mistakes.
Outside lives a girl of innocence,
yet inside hides a girl with tremendous guilt.
Outside lives a girl with goals and aspirations,
yet inside lives a girl lost in confusion.
What you see on the outside is my personal disguise,
What hides underneath you can't even begin to imagine.
The whole reason behind my picture and why I choose this part of a poem is because no one really truly knows how I feel inside. They see how I act on the outside and not how I really am. They see that I am a very happy and cheerful like person when they don’t see the emotions I hid on the inside. My heart and the heart in the picture want to over follow and pour out emotions, but I feel like I can never show them because no one would believe that it’s really true.
