Who Are You?
Who am I?
Quite a question
Inside, does there lie truth?
I am I really a nice and sweet “little girl”
But what else lies within you?
Am is a state of being referring to the present
Am I really what they think I am?
They say I am a nice person
What was I before?
The say I have a sweet heart
Is that true to the core?
Was it before I had my break down,
When I threw myself at my mom’s bedroom door?
Or was it after the dance I ministered,
When I leapt so high off the floor?
I am the only one that knows the true me
Who will I be ‘till the end?
I am a great person and friend
Does it matter that I gladly irritate my friends?
I’m a smart and witty gal that learns when she fail
But is it bad that I go to sleep past twelve?
I’m a fun and playful chick that has a lot of sass
But is it bad that my low tolerance makes me angry in a flash?
You asked who I am,
But you want to know who I was before?
Okay, remember the part about me throwing myself at my mom’s door
I sound like I was depressed?
Well I was to a point
To what extent would I say?
Well I was suicidal at that point
Am I okay?
So much so
Your glad I’m better?
I am too
I realized it’s better to see a rainbow from this point of view
Is there anything else?
Of course there is,
Though I was sad, I was a happy kid
Am I no longer a kid?
Nope,
I’ve now grown to the extent to get a bank account and be out on my own
Are you on your own?
Not just yet,
Will you miss I old life?
Duh, no doubt, I bet,
What will I miss?
I’ll miss the fun times with mom
Throwing socks at each other in the house
Socks you ask?
What I’m referring to ,
Are the small things and tasks,
What part specifically about you say?
Like saying “I love, see you later.” To my mom as I left the house each day
You want to go back and ask what day it all changed?
I day my auntie explained no one owe me anything
I was going to have to get over it because other went through the same,
That was it you ask?
Well no,
What do I mean?
Like everyone today “daddy problems”,
But all is forgiven
But why you say?
It made me feel better,
I think that’s why I’m okay.
I’m happy in my life and now you know,
Umm … all the all the answers to your questions,
Especially, you know,
The first one asked,
About who I am,
I didn’t tell you much,
I just wanted to show,
The person that had to make those transitions,
Is the one you now know.
