Who Am I

I am a bird that can't fly I am a dog that can't bark I am a cat that can't meow I am a singer that can't sing I am a chef that can't cook I am a lover that can't love I am a dancer that can't dance I am a baker that can't bake A dreamer that can't dream I have lost my way Who am I? I am me, but I have to find me Alexis Y. 10-30-18

You will never be the cat, bird or dog - pretty sure, and neither will I, but in addition I know I will never be the singer. The rest, you are, I am, we be all those things just not necessarily actively YET. We have so many layers of possibilities, not all can fit in one lifetime, can they? Creatively done, an intriguing delivery. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I just found you, you are right here. :) Sad my friend, but I know you and you will find yourself any minute now and be very pleased with the person you are...I am. :)

Only by looking within yourself can you truly see who you are. Our problem is we are always looking out. Tom.
