Who? (Death Part: 2) Poem by Bethany Maxwell

Who? (death part: 2)

Who do they want me to be?
Who do they want me to portray?
Who do they want to follow?
Who shall take my job?
I am me you are you.

Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to save?
Who am I supposed to take to hell?
Who would know this other than me?
Who am I? Who?

Who am I to say what I am?
Who are you to judge me?
Who am I to say 'no' to your needs?
Who are you to say 'no' to mine?
Are we just like that? Alone.

Who is the one who calms your fears?
Who is the one who takes you to god?
Who is the one who loves you so?
Who is the one who cares about you?
I am.

Who is the one who follows me?
Who is the one who walks in my steps?
Who is the one who wants the freedom to choose?
Who is the one who looks to me and is supposed to smile?
You are.

Who is the one who you see in the end?
Who is the one who saves your soul?
Who is the one who brought you here as their sons and daughters?
Who is the one who shall send you on?
God is.

Who are you not to follow?
Who are you to follow with pride?
Who is the one whom you should fear?
Who is the one you should praise?
You are to choose, you are to know, you are the one who should listen.

Who are you all?
Who am I?
Who is God?
Who is the one?
Only you shall know, who.
