Who Am I

Who Am I? This woman I've become... who is she? What might I find... what will I see? Where does the essence of... my soul lie? I pray... I find it... bye and bye. Is it deeply hidden...dark within? or just under my thick skin. Maybe... only on the top... at the surface of my heart! At times... I search... not knowing where to start. In the deepest reaches of my being just what is it... I'm not seeing? I know not what I'm looking for but feel it's knocking on my door! Is it... my kindness... or disdain that which causes my heart pain? Maybe... it's the babe inside clutching pain it wants to hide. Always tugging... at my being scolding me for not seeing! Will it be... my strength or confidence...I'm lacking That will forever keep me tracking? What do I have that ...I can give to make my life... really live? I sometimes feel I'm trapped within... this shell that I possess Eager to free my soul and let my... heart undress! Who Am I? Author: Mary Thompson 2003
