Musings - Who Would I Be If I Weren't Me Poem by Paul Warren

Who would I be if I weren't me
Perhaps I would have built something to see
Or I would have invented something worthwhile
Then maybe I could make someone smile

Again thinking as an athlete I could run a mile in a record
When at the Olympics for my country's accord
A story that becomes a best seller would be nice
Or as an explorer somewhere paying the price

But you know in the end of it all when I think it through
Weighing it all up together and to myself being true
What I am now is what I was probably meant to be
Myself as myself for the whole world to see.
