Who Am I

I am a creation of myself I don't know who I am I'm this to you and that to him Hardly more than just a scam I'd like to be who I'd like to be If only I could figure Which of me is the me I see within the mirror

lol I like this. Let me guess...You're an enigma. A puzzle waiting to be put yourself together. Life is so much better when it isn't black and white. Very thought provoking.

I am an enigma... only to myself. Not waiting to put myself together anymore. Finally figured out I'll never get there but really don't find it a problem. Life is good and really pretty interesting. Thanks for the comment.

Had to read it multiple times, not for understanding but because of appreciation. I really get it. Great verse. I'll have to memorize this one. Thanks

I can relate of what your saying I do create a lot of characters in my head suddenly I create them , but sometimes the characters I make controls my body , and the person isn't me , but I get control on them I can see why you said " which is me is the me"

All of them are me Abdell. I'm really not sure any of them are in control Though. We seem to be doing alright. At least I'm not fighting with me.

Howard, excellent context. I am currently altering some of my older poetry to drop the Start of Line capitals and adding correct punctuation to make it more readable. Just a thought:---- I am a creation of myself I don't know who I am.------ I'm this to you and that to him, hardly more than just a scam.------I'd like to be who I'd like to be, if only I could figure-------which of me is the me I see within the mirror.------------ Again agood piece both in rhythm, rhyme and context....Ivor
