God, tell me, who am I
Am I your passionate child
or someone who is wicked and wild.
Am I the one with aim and mission
or someone with distorted vision.
Am I like a child who never cries
or like a man who never tries.
Am I the one with loads of ambition
or someone trapped, full of inhibition.
Am I the one with peaceful mind
or whose soul and peace is hard to find.
In all these years
Full of cheers and tears
A question that always appears
Who am I! Who am I!
The consummate poem about the consummate question. I thought you placed the issue well. In the proper text. Masterful treatment. GW62
Bewildered Soul...so wonderfully written.. with great concepts...AWAKENING to one's soul.... a question with humility and honesty... a question to Him is a question to our own self too and the humble acceptance of who we are... God knows you by heart.....and the answer is within you.... 10+++++
Very eloquently and passionately written. May your soul be enlightened. Congratulations! Your work deserves only the best. Warm regards, Sandra
This is one haunting question that follows each and everyone in this life. It is the mystery that leads to this exotic spirit of questioning that knows no answer. We have to satisfy ourselves by not thinking far beyond or far behind. mandara
