I AM NOT WHO I AM
i am not
who i am
i am who
others have
made me
mother
father
teacher
master
priest
wife
lover man from hell
the beast who lived next door
whom i loved at 14
the whore who abused me
you used me
you made me
i would love
to accept myself
to be me
but which me
shall i choose
cocksure
choir boy
boy toy
bum boy
graduate
addict
addict in recovery
freewheelin
bob and thom
dylanesque
poet in mania
broken depressed
messed up
angel
divine being
street wise thing
all of you
collectively
are me
when shall i meld
these fragments
when shall i hold
this new me
whole to your mirror
and shine
(Especially for Broomie)

Big hugs to you too Broomie. I appreciate your comments - as you probably know, when someone says that they identify with something you have written it means so much more than being told that it is 'technically' correct.
Best (as always). Carl.

This is a great piece filled with profound emotion and deep meaning. Love the pic and feel it complements the poem perfectly. 5 Stars ***** for creativity, topic and tribute. It goes on my list.:) Simply superb!
