Who am I?

Who am I?
Right now.
I know, I know.
But who am I, when the world turns dark?
As I wander through this endless park?
Am I me? Am I you?
Do I love? Do I hate?

Who am I?
Right now.
I know. I know.
But who am I, with the coming of new springs?
As I slowly learn to confront new things?
Am I young? Am I old?
Do I fear? Do I accept?

Who am I?
Right now.
I know. I know.
I really just need to go.
I say I want to get away; to run somewhere for just one day.
Clear my mind. Discover peace. Just for once to be released.

Who am I?
Right now.
I know. I know.
I am learning to grow.
Discovering self and moving through change.
Learning to accept what once was so strange.

Who am I?
Now I know.
I’m just here to enjoy the show.
I am I and you are you.
I’m just beginning something new.
