Still Discovering Who I Really Am Poem by Chris Embrick

Still Discovering Who I Really Am

Rating: 5.0


Within this enormous universe
I live within my brain
If I lose a million synapses
a trillion more remain
With volumes of knowledge gained
I never blow a fuse
Little challenge to a hundred billion neurons
most I never use
A thought behind every smile
and one behind each frown
If my ego seems a bit overweight
it only weighs three pounds

Yes, this brain has no need of time
so marvelous, unique
It interprets what I hear
translates my thoughts to speech
I'm never sure who I really am
there's secrets yet revealed
A part of me seems imaginary
interwoven with the real
Against the swirling galaxies
my wisdom comes to naught
When I think of who I really am
my life comes down to thoughts.

This reminds me, with joy, so much of my University days when as a group we would talk long into the night on Existentialism and every other possible topic under the sun.! .There is a great feeling of freedom when reading this..the realisation of how we are who we are..Really enjoyed this Chris and love your introspective analysis Lodigiana xx 10+++
