Do You Know Me? Because I Don't
Who am I?
Well that depends
On the hour at hand
The month perhaps?
Day?
Or the year maybe?
I am charming
I am strong
I am disagreeable
I am weak
I laugh and cry
Sob and moan
The same as everyone else
Although I'm very different
I know who I want to be
But I don't know who I am
What I can be
Or how to achieve it
But for now I'm a brother
Son
Friend
Mentor
My writes teeter on light and darkness
An eloquent eclipse of lyrics
Made to walk the line
From calm to insane
To bridge the gap between love and hate
I am but a simple poet
A simple man
But I am no simpleton
I am the way God drew me

Author's Note
We can be sure in our abilities, and the way we feel. However, can we truly know ourselves? The constant changes of life, and our environment. We constantly adapt to our surroundings. So I ask again, can we truly know ourselves?

Dear CC,
Great insight and question here. As I’m still trying to figure out myself and keeping up with my own daily changes I’m going to say no. I have no idea who I am. I’m a constant surprise and never ending work in progress. 😊
I think that’s what makes us so interesting in the end and I really enjoyed that concept of your poem. H🌷

I concur with you. I believe that we as human are continually changing and evolving, so it's hard to define one's identity. I'm glad that you enjoyed my poem.
