Who am I?


Who am I?

It can't be defined in words.

Who am I?

A symphony with a million notes.

Who am I?

A broken mirror pieced together.

 

Who am I not?

I am no longer a doll.

I am no longer numb.

I am no longer afraid. 

 

Who am I?

Wiser than most at a younger age.

Who am I?

A dreamer, 

A survivor.

 

Who am I not?

Someone who gives up.

Someone who runs.

Someone who is ignorant of the light.

 

For the light my dear friends, 

I have found 

That devils hide in plain sight.

 

Who am I?

I have not yet discovered.

But I have found that I

Am a survivor. 

A dreamer.

A helper of souls.

So I will continue on this path, 

To self discovery. 

 

For who am I

To be defined in so little words 

In so little time.

And so my dear friends,

Let my actions speak louder 

as to the question of 

Who I am.
