Who Am I

The clouds are heavy,
cant hold for long,
tired of providing the shade all along,
 
tired of doing everything for a reason,
tired of wearing faces for every season,
 
tired of pretending to enjoy the fun,
tired of being always on the run,
 
tired of overlooking other's sin,
tired of being a cause for their win,
 
tired of worrying of what she might say,
tired of being the pavement of her way,
 
tired of acting foolish,of being a buffoon,
tired of being someone else's cushion,
 
tired of being a mother to someone,
tired of caring for the happiness of everyone,
 
tired of leading the multidimensional life,
tired of being the person I am not,
 
the clouds are heavy,
cant hold for long,
saturated, exhausted, its time to fall,
and clear the sky,
so that the sun may shine,
help discover myself - Who am I?

It's a mad mad world, Anusheel. I'll give you the advice someone gave me once. Don't think about it. Just get busy doing something. I'm kidding, of course. Congrats on the selection. daver

Welcome to poetrysoup :) I find myself constantly asking myself the same question, along with, who do I want to be? I think it's a continuous journey to self discovery and introspection is the only way to go. I hope to see more of your work :)

I like the riddle format of your piece. It makes me wonder if your the thunderstorm, or the brilliant rainbow that follows. Dynamic piece. Write on!
