Who are you?
Are you a homebody?
Are you a nobody,
like Emily Dickinson professed to be?
Are you everybody,
as the pantheists suggest?
Are you what you do?
A teacher,
an accountant,
a retiree,
a mother,
a father?
Does your identity abide
in your gender?
in your beliefs,
in your heritage?
Does who you are change?
Are you the same person
you were yesterday.
Who will you be ten years from now?
Do you like who you are?
Do other people like who you are?
Does it matter who you are?
Who am I to ask such questions?
Sonny, interesting questions and saving the best for last... excellent ending! Well thought out and nicely done! ! Brian
Who do you think you are asking all these questions? That's very nosy! Honestly, I have a weakness for identity poems. Nice one.

I would like to translate this poem
An enjoyable write; perhaps one day I'll have answers to all of those questions, as presented in my own writings. Thanks for asking...
