Oh, who am I

 

"I am not what happened to me, 
I am what I choose to become."

                          Quote by _Carl Jung 


Sometimes, in life I feel without,
lacking what I am all about;
where is my sense of self I sigh ...
Oh, who am I  !

Useless with identity lost,
my uniqueness and selfdom tossed;
a death has left my life awry ...
Oh, who am I !

My existence is in question,
this spiral down my obsession;
must find my wings so I can fly ...
Oh, who am I !

I am so much less and a mess,
things are going wrong I confess;
must define and create or die ...
Oh, who am I  !

My character is buried deep,
will find the best of it to keep;
I battle a pit of why try ...
Oh, who am I  !

But like a flower am blooming,
a new self I am becoming;
gone away my sad lullaby ...
Oh, who am I  !
