Who Am I

June 15, 2021

Am I a friend;

Or am I an enemy

Is it you;

Or is it my identity

Do I have to choose

If so what am I willing to lose

Who am I?

 

Am i wrong when I am right;

Or do you judge me out of spite

Do I listen;

Or do I fight

Who am I?


Am I what others want to see

Or am I who I want to be

My reflection;

Colorful

My vision;

Dull

Oh how I yearn to see those colors;

As I hide them from others

Who am I?


I am strong;

But I am weak

Letting no one knock me off my feet

I am who I choose to be


I will one day be me

This piece is about someone trying to find who they are, their identity, facing the challenges of reality. This piece is moslty refering to those in the trans community who have found the need to hide because of the judgmental world we live in, but this sense of not knowing your identity can resignate with anyone and everyone.
