I am who I am.
Do I like who I am?
Sometimes I’m happy
with who I see-
in the mirror ,
looking back at me.
But at times
there’s an emptiness…
a feeling like I’m
an absolute mess.
Why that is?
I don’t know.
Perhaps it stems back
from long ago,
when I was a child.
But I was so loved
and wonderfully cared for.
Why this confusion?
I don’t know.
But I am slowly learning to let go…
I don’t want chaos or hostility,
just peace and tranquility.
I’m on my way …
to discovering
who I
really want
to be…
