Finally
My epiphany came
-did you hear?
It's all becoming
almost clear.
I'm coming to know
that everything can't
be quantified.
That there doesn't have to be
an answer.
That I could look for forever
and that still might not be long
enough.
That you don't have to say
"It's all black and white."
Or, "I see it in many shades
of gray."
Because who's to say
that there exists a way
to say what needs
to be said?
There might not even
be a word for
who I am.
So my answer doesn't exist
in some sort of infinite continuum
Never to be found
if I somehow play my cards
wrong.
I'll define myself
one way or another.
Because I'm not
an answer to a question.
I'm a person.
