Reality of me

When will I find the real me? 
Was I lost as I journeyed alone?
Forced and shaped where I didn’t belong
Worked and moulded into a vacant lot
A lot that happened my way in life
Or, perhaps I never even set out
For the person journeying was an imposter
A dark actor brilliantly masquerading, using my gifts and entrenched in the drama
I fully believed that he was me, as he wrote the script for all to see

But my life took a turn, a twist unforeseen in the stalls
I entered the show with life and colour
The final act, who would imagine? 
Creative, flamboyant, dramatically  different
Proof read from Heaven to fit the occasion 
No part in the play for the intruder
Banished and outcast, unmasked, forlorn
I really have been reborn
It’s time to live again
