I am who I am

A poem about me

I am who I am
Good and bad
Help and hindrance
Happy and sad

I am who I am
Kind and cruel
Friend and foe
Model and fool

I am who I am
True and a liar
A cooling stream
A ball of fire

I am who I am
A mix of emotions
My feelings are deep
Like the oceans

I am who I am
Trying to aim higher
But often a failure
A defeated trier

I am who I am
Secretive and shy
Hiding my shame
From another’s eye.

I am who I am
Not who you want me to be
Not even who I want to be
Not always who you can see

Yes, this is me
Unique – the one and only
There’s much more to me
Than you can see.
