Who am I


Who am I

A few words to describe a lifetime

A simple demand to define a self

Yet most of us wonder where it secret lies

Where the truth shall be unveiled

Is it in the hands of humanity?

Hidden on the other side of the moon

Is it where the wind will trip you?

 To at last unleash true self

 

Where should I go? who must I be?

Should lead or should I follow

Am I truly living the page of my story

 Or  a relentless ego is what is left of me

 

Who am i

In a world filled with endless possibilities

But no matter how wide I stretch my hands

They seem to slip away my fingers

In a life where my everyday dreams and all my hopes

Seems to have never escaped the walls of illusion

 

Who am I?

If carrying a faith is not enough to believe

If sharing myself is the root of all betrayal

if giving my heart is the reason why I am now empty handed

when my shoulders are the site consolation of many tears

But only my heart knows the whispers of my own cry

Who am I?

Me

 Just a living soul

Breaking and learning

Rising and falling

Failing to start over again

Living to the fullest through joy and pain

trying not to loose myself

as i engage the journey of life

Until the ending destination
