Why I Am This Person
By Michael Charles Messineo

As you get older, you think back into your past and look at the building blocks and influences that created who you are today. The influences of home, your friends and your environment gave you choices to absorb or deflect those markers upon which became the eventual “you” of today.

 

I am thinking back, to a time when I was small

A time of less restrictions, no artistic walls

Resourceful playful vision, creating story lines

A child writing busy scripts, in my busy mind.

 

Future building blocks, for creative paths ahead

Nights of playful dreams, as I passed the time in bed

Absorbing life around me, with filters of my choice

blending my emotions, gave birth to my own voice.

 

Now and then in later years, I often do look back.

Why I am this person, was my train of thought on track?

The many forks, countless lanes, the choices I have taken

I am thinking back, to these thoughts I have awakened.
