Poem Artwork


Having been me being under duress
Being me but being I guess
Having this feeling I do not exist
Defending myself I resist
Seeing my being (is that really me?)

I know who I am but who am I
But who I am as I live and die?

Freeing my being though I see
Seeing my being I guess I confess
But if I am then I insist
On being myself if no more no less
No muss and no fuss and no stress

As the only one to be I know
I want to go as me as I go

We are who we are, and we are the ones thay know ourselves best.
Yup, we will go as ourselves, as no one else would go in our place.
