I'M FINALLY A SOMEBODY, OR AM I? (POEM)

 I'm finally a SOMEBODY! Or am I?

My heart soars with joy and pride

At last, I have something to show

The world will know me, I'm sure

But is this really what I want?

The fame and recognition, the accolades

The applause, the admiration, the rewards

But what of the price I must pay?

The loneliness, the envy, the doubts

I'm finally a SOMEBODY! Or am I?

My identity is now defined by my success

My worth is measured by my accomplishments

I'm no longer the same person I used to be

I'm still me, but I'm someone else too

A stranger in my own skin

My life is no longer my own

I'm a puppet in someone else's show

I'm finally a SOMEBODY! Or am I?

The world sees me as someone important

But I'm still struggling to find my place

The spotlight is blinding, the pressure is heavy

And I'm not sure I'm ready for this

The expectations, the responsibility

The fear of failure, the vulnerability

The need to prove myself, the uncertainty

Am I really ready to take this on?

I'm finally a SOMEBODY! Or am I?

I'm no longer a face in the crowd

My life has taken a different path

But I'm still the same person inside

And I'm still searching for my place in the world
