Am I Who I Am

I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am To the mirror I looked, am I a woman or a man Maybe I'm somebody else, just another in my head Or am I who I am, in my mind I sometimes dread I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am Asking why my friends have decided to be in my little scam All my life I've wondered just who the hell I am Again to the mirror I looked, am I a woman or a man I woke up this morning trying to remember who I am My mind has invented another, being deceitful leads my sham Maybe I'll find the clues for I to realise my tomorrows And return the names to the graveyard, but I'll doubt I'll sorrow http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-14.php

YOu were having fun with this one, I see. Hey, James. I wanted to tell you I enjoyed your blog today. I had left a message and then thought better of what I had written and just didn't post it. But I loved reading your comments. LUv, Andrea

Stunning, James! The truth is you seem so genuine all of the time. Perhaps within the body of a man exists the tender sentiments of a woman. But that is a good thing! The last verse is especially provocative. "Returning the (borrowed) names to the graveyard" is a thought-provoking concept. Awesome work, my friend, and a favorite for me. Love, carolyn
