Who am I (poem)
A poem that gently dives into what makes someone themselves.
"~" indicates stanza breaks as this platform is not set up for poetry.
Who am I?
~
The concept,
Of
One’s self.
The concept,
Of
One’s identity.
So
Basic,
So
Intriguing,
So
Absract,
~
There is
So much,
That can
Be said.
~
But
When looking
For,
The real truth,
Justice,
Can not
Be brought,
With a bokay
Of words.
~
There is
So much,
And yet,
So little
To explain.
~
You
Can talk
Culture.
~
You
Can talk
Religion.
~
You
Can talk
Gender.
~
You
Can talk
Skin.
~
There is
So much
Of which,
You can talk.
~
But
With each word,
There is
An ocean.
Waiting
To talk.
Laying,
Just under
The surface.
~
One
is more,
Than
The sum,
Of one’s parts.
~
One is
More,
Than
Can be described,
With mear words.
~
Who am I?
I ask again,
A question,
That is
So,
Seemingly simple.
And yet,
Utterly
complex.
~
The only
Answer
That I can give,
Takes
The form,
Of
One
Simple
Word.
~
Me.
~
I am me.
~
A statement
So bold,
And yet
So simple.
~
Me.
~
The only answer,
That rings true.
~
I am me.
~
No more.
No less.
~
I
Am,
Just
Simply,
Me.
