WHO AM I?

WHO AM I?

Who am I?
First time
I asked
This question

Directed at me
For up to now
Was not
My true self
But
Some ones self

Never knew my outer
Or inner self
Didn't know my potential
Or
Current power

Mental capacity
Talents or skills
Lived a life
Of someone else

Never occurred to me
To ask myself
Let alone others

Why did it take
Four decades?
Is an outrage
Had to summon courage

Evaluate
Review my being
My role in
Shaping my current state

May be
Is my age
Conducive to such a stage
For in-depth
Reflection
Or
Meditation

Suddenly
Had a compulsion
To know myself
Said this time
Should stop and think

Pose a question
Fundamental and prime
Like,
Who am I?
