blurred self

I feel as if I don't know who I am anymore. All my life I have been walking around feeling as if I am someone else. An image of a person that people want me to be. A person that people want to see. But everyday that I am that person, the person I am on the inside starts to become a blur. It starts to become only a distant memory. No one wants to see the real person that I am; the person I am behind closed doors. If they were to see that side of me, they would walk away and never look back. What happens when the real me disappears forever? What am I going to be truly left with? Is there even a point continuing to live that life when it isn't who I really am? Those are the questions that burn a hole in my mind and there is no escaping them.
