Who am I supposed to be?

Is it what men, women, and children see ?

Is it what men, women, and children expect of me?

I hunger to be lost in gleam and bliss , there's but one thing I've missed...

Who was I supposed to be?

Do I dress for women and seek attention?

Am I an act for the entertainment of men?

Should I care to be a guide for children?

Who am I supposed to be ?

Role model?

Icon?

Leader?

Caretaker or peacekeeper ?

Who do you people want me to be ?

Who am I supposed to be ?
