Who am I?
After spending years on formal education.
Finding and managing job demands
Getting married
Buying a house... car
Starting a family.
Who am I?
Am I my work?
My career that pays the bills?
The people who come to me know me by a name.
Is that who I am?
But wait...
I am a spouse and a parent.
Are these things who I am?
I have friends and other family
They know some other things about me as well.
They have their own name for me.
Can they be the ones who are right?
Is who I am what they say?
But...this doesn't seem correct.
All of these roles that I play
Which one is really me?
They are all part of me!
All parts that I play!
That's right!
They are all me.
Every single one.
It matters not that there is... a role
What matters is the total.
Who do I say I am?
Now that makes me smile
For I am not just one 'thing' but a combination of many pieces
That makes me... superbly
ME!
