Who Am I? Poem by Dilip Pattanayak
Who Am I?
Who am I?
When do I ask this to me
I see I am nobody, nothing,
but Everybody and everything.
My identity is determined
by the society, by the people;
given a name by my parents.
Who am I?
I am a son to my parents;
a father to my child;
a teacher to my pupils;
a customer to my shopkeeper;
a husband to my better-half;
a lover to my beloved;
and so on.
Who am I?
I am a character with
many faces; with many
attitudes; with many
expectations; with many
ideas, feelings, and emotions.
Who am I?
I am a multiple in a single body;
a particle in this human universe
being myself and the other
at the same time.
