Who am I (poem)

"~" indicates stanza breaks as this platform is not set up for poetry.

Who am I?

~

The concept,

Of

One’s self.

The concept,

Of

One’s identity.

So

Basic,

So

Intriguing,

So

Absract,

~

There is

So much,

That can

Be said.

~

But

When looking

For,

The real truth,

Justice,

Can not

Be brought,

With a bokay

Of words.

~

There is

So much,

And yet,

So little

To explain.

~

You

Can talk

Culture.

~

You

Can talk

Religion.

~

You

Can talk

Gender.

~

You

Can talk

Skin.

~

There is

So much

Of which,

You can talk.

~

But

With each word,

There is

An ocean.

Waiting

To talk.

Laying,

Just under

The surface.

~

One

is more,

Than

The sum,

Of one’s parts.

~

One is

More,

Than

Can be described,

With mear words.

~

Who am I?

I ask again,

A question,

That is

So,

Seemingly simple.

And yet,

Utterly

complex.

~

The only

Answer

That I can give,

Takes

The form,

Of

One

Simple

Word.

~

Me.

~

I am me.

~

A statement

So bold,

And yet

So simple.

~

Me.

~

The only answer,

That rings true.

~

I am me.

~

No more.

No less.

~

I

Am,

Just

Simply,

Me.
