James Fraser Poet Quatrain

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

Andrea Dietrich May 14, 2011 at 2:06 PM 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

Carol Sunshine Brown April 8, 2011 at 7:47 AM I have stopped by to read your excellent poetry today James. I hope to be back soon to read more. I wish you the best with your writing always. Love, Carol

Carolyn Devonshire April 7, 2011 at 12:05 PM 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
