Who Am I Poem by Colette Dright

Who am I that I can choose
To pick from my closet different types of shoes
Who am I that my feet are bare
When I only wish I had shoes to wear

Who am I that I have food
Whenever I'm hungry to eat
Who am I that I am hungry
And for food I have to seek

Who am I when I am thirsty purified water I drink
Who am I that I walk for water
When I don't even have a sink

Who am I that is covered with laced bras
And different types of clothes
Who am I which have no clothes
And walk around daily with my breast exposed

Who am I that have a home to go to everyday
Who am I that my home is wherever
And under a bridge I stay

Who am I that have an Ipod, computer and a Wii
Who am I that have no calculator, phone, yet alone even a t.v

Who am I that I can cleanse my soul and bathe from a shower
Anytime of the day, hour after hour
Who am I that a shower I have not
And to cleanse my soul, I bathe from a pot

Who am I that whether near or far
I can ride a bus or even drive my car
Who am I that there is no bus and I have no car
And the distance you drive, I walk just that far

The same means of functioning daily is done with less
Yet at the same time, the one with more, complains more
