Who am I

I'd rather be relevant than incognito,
I'd rather be corrected than stroke my ego,
Flying high as an eagle but still need the wind beneath my wings,
If anyone ever wanted to, 
They could ask me why the caged bird sings,
Feeling as if the world was on my back and shoulders,
The older I get, it seems as if the world gets colder,
It's funny to think that especially when we talk of the world going to hell,
But I cannot deal in negativity and downfalls because that would mean that I failed,

So who am i,

Maybe I might ever know,  through the rain, sleet, hail or snow, 

There can be times where I want to hide but I can never forget that there is always time to grow, 

I am not just your typical, average, run of the mill type of person,
I am that guy who shines even when my times worsen,
What I give to you is an open mind to a closed world we live in,
I just hope that I'm not too late before it all comes to an end
