Who Is Me

Who is he? Who is She? Who is me?
Questions so easily asked, but often frail and weak. 
Today i was asked who am I and why?
I had no answer as my brain crashed and my mind fried. 

Well you see I am me, Simply put i'm what you see. 
I am so unique it would be an insult to label so frivolously 
Reputation is something we work on till the day we die.
To expect me to explain when my actions speak aloud is a crime. 

I suppose if i were to explain myself in order to entertain. 
I'd keep my answer short simple and plain. 
With my mind fried and an answer made harder than needed to be
Quietly i mutter I am my actions and the rest is a mystery.

Who am I, and what makes me, Me? 
Well dont ask me, just watch and observe carefully.

Dear Dylan, your poem is beautifully thought-provoking. A wonderfully emotive piece and splendid rhymes too. Indeed actions speak louder than words. Congratulations for your excellent win. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Congratulations Dylan. Your poem is spot on- One can never truly know someone unless they journey along life with them x
