David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Who Would I Be

Who Would I Be
David J Walker

Who would I be
I asked myself
Curiously
I mean if I 
Wasn’t the me
People have come 
To see
Who 
	Would
		I
Be

Though the questions
Remain
If all was the same
Who 
	Should 
		I
Be

If I were free
Of all doubt 
About 
Life’s authenticity 

And if I 
	Held the key
Would I know
 	More
And open the
Door
And be free

Would I be able
To see
Who I
should really
be

In a doubt free
State of mind
Would I find 
the name of the 
something
unseen by the blind
unheard in
word
unsensed 
by the senses

Though in
reality
I am fenced 
By the fences
I created to
Protect the me
From the rest of
The world
Rather than flee

Today is another day
To try and find 
The answer 
Who Should I Be
