William Shakespeare

who are you

Who are you? Are you the one who laughs and plays, the one who loves the sun's warm rays? Or are you the one who speaks with grace, who's kind and gentle in every place? Are you the one who's bold and brave, who stands up tall in an open grave? Or are you the one who's meek and mild, who knows when to be kind or wild? Are you the one who loves to dream, who's always searching for a new theme? Or are you the one who's logical, who's always looking for a new miracle? Who are you? Are you the one who's strong and true, the one who helps others make it through? Or are you the one who's wise and sage, who knows when to turn the page? Are you the one who's bold and brave, who stands up tall and does not cave? Or are you the one who's humble and kind, who finds a way to make peace of mind? Who are you? Are you the one who's always smiling, the one who's always trying? Or are you the one who's quick to judge, who's never willing to budge? Are you the one who's wise and sage, who knows when to turn the page? Or are you the one who's meek and mild, who knows when to be kind or wild? Who are you? Are you the one who seeks the truth, who's willing to do what's right for you? Or are you the one who's stubborn and prideful, who's always looking for a fightful? Who are you? The answer lies within, it's up to you to dig deep within. The truth you seek is in your heart, it's up to you to make a start. So who are you? That's up to you to decide, just remember to stay true and abide.
