Who am I?

'Who am I?'

Am I the wrecked earth?
Or the cruel burning sky?
Or in between just a cry,
Vanishing, dying, who am I?

Am I the same under my skin?
Black or white, low or high,
I shed the same when I’m bruised,
Blood and tears, who am I?

I’m one soul with many faces,
Gone, invisible, hard to identify,
Long lost is my true identity,
Under the makeover, who am I?

Am I selfish, lonesome or shy?
Or a cold shoulder to rely,
Yet longing to be selfless and spry,
Behind my mask, who am I?
