Lost Inside (Poem)

You rummage through your wardrobe,
Wondering which personality you should wear out today,
Acting out a different character,
Each time you hit the streets.

You go through life searching
For a chance to say 'I' proudly.
For a change that will remain.
For a true identity.

Your words are typed out lines from a script,
Smeared with fake emotions & false sincerity.
You seem to be acting out a scene from a play,
In which you place yourself as the star role.

Constantly seeking attention,
Yet never getting it,
Your cry to be noticed goes unheard.
Lost within the throngs of people,
As they push past you.

Who would notice someone without an identity?
Who would notice someone without a sense of purpose?
Who would notice someone who, despite everything,
Is still a little girl

lost inside.
