The You,You Are

by Dadfire — Read all 70 poems by Dadfire

We do not choose to be born who we are but can we change who we become?
Will "The You", you are today, be "The You", you are tomorrow?

Poem Artwork

                 The You, You Are

who you are is nothing
of your own handiwork
the you you are was fashioned
the you you had no choice

the you chose not  your body
the you chose not  your brain
the you is a mass collection
from millions of dna

now since you're  predeterminded
and the you is not your own
are you alone responsible 
for the things the you have done

the you you are when firstly made
no matter can't be washed away
but the you, you started with this day
that you the you can only change

the only hope the you can have
is change the you for better now
and if the you resist the change
the you alone, you are to blame

Much to think about in this timely poem ! NO, the person I am today, will sadly not be me, in years to come!.............M
(I was told in 2007 I had early Alzheimer's. It's now 2016, I am still doing ok and have cognative ability. Hopefully a cure will soon be found for the millions who have this!)
