Incorrect Identity

I
Me
The person you all know
Some see me as dirt
Others send me praise
Some see me as nothing
But an average human being
And then there's others
That look at me
And think they see perfection
Though none of you
Truly know the truth
About who I am
As a whole
I don't deserve your praise
And I'm definitely
Far from average
I'm pretty sure
I'm worth more than dirt
But I'm no perfect angel
I got more flaws than most
And problems
Many couldn't handle
Many who praise me
Deserve the praise
More than I ever could
Call me modest
If you want
But I'm
Just telling the truth
There's so much more
Going on in me
Than you could ever
Imagine
