Who We Are

Am I my own teacher who taught me? When no one can tell me who I am? I am my own salvation I cannot see I am simply... who I am Ninety seconds to mean a moment One second to alter life as we know it Thirty seconds to create a distant How many seconds in life do we need? I know stuff but how did I know? I do not remember anyone telling me things Can I stop learning tomorrow? Can I yet be where I have never been? Education cannot teach us to be who we are Only a vast information of past that was Its only us who sets us apart with a neon bar And its only us who blames us to be the cause I cannot teach you to be When even myself I do not know who I am You can only be who you want to see For you are you and I am who I am
