who i am

first draft of a poem

who i am

sometimes i am
a teacher
other times i am
a mother
i am a
wife
and a
daughter
and a sister
and a friend

i am a
leader
and a
follower

i can be strong
and feel
weak

sometimes i am
loud
and other times i am
quiet

and sometimes i don't quite know
who i am

but sometimes
who i am
is exactly
who i
want to be -

me
