Poem: Who Do You See Me As?

When you look at me what do you see?
A young man from the South Bronx...
With a lot of potential probably,
Possibly,
You see me as a goof ball who plays ball,
Someone who wouldn't stay down when they do fall.

Or,

You see me as a immature monogamous
Irrationality dating just to make relationship progress
Playing the field, but never playing too dirty.
Somebody that'll get married and have kids,
But differently not before he's 30.

Depending on when we met,

You probably see me as somebody who can drink you under the table
Somebody who would finish your drink if you weren't able
Somebody who would rather party than stay in
Somebody who wouldn't mind calling it an early night just to get it in.

But if we met recently you probably won't believe that last part could be me,

Now, I rather have a beer and then go home just to wake up early
You probably see me as somebody who works hard. 
A person who takes less risks because of all his battle scars.
A smile on my face because the alternative is not an option.
You see me as somebody you can turn to for advice because I'm always plotting.

When you look at me what do you see?

Past, present or future? 
Because believe me,
Sometimes I don't even recognize me,
I know its me
But what I see is a better me
A me nobody knows but me,
Thats the me I want you to see
When you look at me
The better me.
