Poetry Friday: Who I Am by Denise Vega

If I tell you who I am
You might not see me anymore
Could you let go
Of the person you thought I was
Long enough
To see the person I really am?

- from the novel Rock On: A story of guitars, gigs, girls, and a brother (not necessarily in that order) by Denise Vega

Read my review of the book.

Listen to Waiting for You, lyrics by Denise Vega, music by Zack Carabelos and Melissa Rankin
