To be, or not...

riffin' William

'To be, or not to be...'

I did  

not want 

to be

me.

But, 

as time 

passed,

I knew 

I had

to be,

me.

Finally,

comfortable

with

what I

see,

and secure, 

in who

I be.

Author's Note

please don't flee...

Wearing the skin that I'm in
Even when it's wearing thin

A little bit of an echo from skinwalker here (although timing may be off)
Nice

The twist ended with a logical ending. Hard to change what we are and who we are going to be. A excellent poem.

(oh, i dare not flee!)
this is a simple, profound and magnetic piece of writing
to be is to be free of the pressure to be

[Joiedevivre]

That is how I feel at this stage, or coming to it. Thanks for putting it on the screen for me too. Just a brilliant poem, there is so much in there.
