"who Am I?"

"who am i"
i ask myself
"no one"
i reply
i cry
"what am i?"
i ask myself
"second to
everything
part of nothing
becoming
less
as time
slips by"
i reply
again 
i cry

Very deep, I can relate to these feelings totally..I ask myself a lot who am I , and what is my purpose here in this world..I imagine everyone has felt this way at some point in their lives, that is how we know we are not alone to these feelings..Nicely done..Thanks for sharing, God Bless and Keep You*Tyesha
